Downloading the OKV Client Software

These operations for downloading the OKV client software are performed from the Key Vault Server Web Console.

The follow steps are repeated for each node of the Recovery Appliance. These steps download JAR files that are specific to the Recovery Appliance node.

  1. Click on Endpoint Enrollment and Software Download link on the Management Console. This link is below the login section.

  2. Using an enrollment token saved from previous steps, paste it into the Enrollment Token field.

  3. Click Submit Token button.

    This displays the endpoint information entered.

  4. Click Enroll at top right. A progress bar appears with the text “processing”.

    A software download window appears after the request has been processed.

  5. The okvclient.jar should be re-named in a host-specific manner, saved locally, and then copied to the /radump directory on its respective Recovery Appliance node.

    The staged file in the /radump has to be named either:

    • as-is okvclient.jar, or

    • "<myHost>-okvclient.jar", where <myHost> matches what hostname -s returns.

    Renaming the file <myHost>-okvclient.jar avoids confusion and the temptation to use an okvclient.jar on any other node but the one it was generated for.

  6. Repeat the above steps for each node of the Recovery Appliance.

Note:

Do not install the JAR files at this point in time. Installation happens after other Recovery Appliance configuration steps.

The JAR files are only valid until enrollment of OKV endpoints are complete.
