Creating the service key
If you replace the appliance internal key or the system board, you must create the
service key.
Before you begin
Before you go to the customer site, you must create the USB key, which is known
as the service key. Before you create a service key, you need the following items:
v The USB key (FRU part number 41Y8279).
v A computer with Windows or Linux.
v A bootable image file and its associated hash file.
About this task
1. Create the service key, which requires access to the IBM internal network.
Perform this procedure at an IBM site before you go to the customer site.
2. Record SC01 activity for the time to create the service key.
3. After you use the service key, remove it and keep it with you. Do not reuse the
service key unless you verified that the most recent bootable image file matches
the image on your service key. If the bootable image changed, re-create the
service key.
Procedure
Obtain the bootable image file.
1. Go to https://datapower-production-images.dp.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com. You need
your IBM Internet ID and password.
2. Download three files. These files have the same basic name:
usb-flash-8436-4BX-number.extension, where number is a unique numeric
identifier.
v usb-flash-8436-4BX-200163.img
v usb-flash-8436-4BX-200163.img.md5
v usb-flash-8436-4BX-200163.img.password.txt
The file with the .img extension is the bootable image file. The file with the
.img.md5 extension is the hash file to validate the image file. The file with the
img.password.txt extension contains the password to install and boot the flash
image.
3. Transfer the bootable image to the USB on Windows or Linux.
v Transfer on Windows.
