Prolog information
The LUKS management script is located in the standard Avaya binary directory. To begin the passphrase update process, access the server via SSH and execute the command.
Before you begin
Ensure the following:
  • Administrative access: root credentials or craft > sroot (if EASG enabled)
  • Current passphrases: You must know the current LUKS passphrase(s) for the active volumes.
  • Maintenance window: While changing a LUKS passphrase can be done online without service disruption, it is recommended to perform administrative security changes during a defined maintenance window.
  1. Connect to the ASP Host using the services port connection.
  2. Log in to the ASP host by using a Secure Shell (SSH) client e.g., PuTTY.
  3. Authenticate using the existing custadm credentials or craft if EASG enabled.
  4. Elevate account to root by executing: su - root | or sroot (if EASG enabled).
  5. Run the following CLI command: setLuksPassphrase.
    STEP RESULT:
    Upon execution, the script automatically scans the system for existing LUKS-encrypted devices. If no encrypted devices are detected, the utility will display No LUKS devices found and exit gracefully.
