Configure the FIPS Service (Oracle ILOM CLI)

FIPS provides encryption and security to certain data transmitted and received by FIPS-compliant devices. Some environments (for example, government installations) require FIPS. By default, FIPS is disabled, but you can enable it by using this task.

1. If needed, enable FIPS.

   -> set /SP/services/fips/ state=enabled
   Set 'state' to 'enabled'
   The configuration change will be applied the next time the SP is reset.
   ->
   

   ---

   Note -  Enabling FIPs is not immediate. You must reset the SP for FIPS to become active.

   ---

2. Reset the SP.

   -> reset /SP/
   Set 'state' to 'enabled'
   The configuration change will be applied the next time the SP is reset.
   ->
   

3. Check the status of FIPS.

   The state and status should both be enabled. If the status of FIPS is disabled; enabled at next boot then you must reset the SP.
