Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Rhel upgrade - pre maintenance checklist Post 302891347 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 5th of March 2014 08:48:45 AM

Backups and a tested process to recover assuming you damage your server beyond repair is a good thing to have. It's unlikely, but you would look foolish not to have this sorted before you press the button.

You could always re-install, but then do you know all the packages and their configuration updates? You would have to re-create all the users, ssh keys, all sorts of things to communicate with other servers etc.


Not that I'm paranoid, but I'd prefer not to get the sack if I can take sensible steps first. Smilie

NAME
Tspi_TPM_LoadMaintenancePubKey- load the public maintenance key into the TPM SYNOPSIS
#include <tss/platform.h> #include <tss/tcpa_defines.h> #include <tss/tcpa_typedef.h> #include <tss/tcpa_struct.h> #include <tss/tss_typedef.h> #include <tss/tss_structs.h> #include <tss/tspi.h> TSS_RESULT Tspi_TPM_LoadMaintenancePubKey(TSS_HTPM hTPM, TSS_HKEY hMaintenanceKey, TSS_VALIDATION* pValidationData); DESCRIPTION
Tspi_TPM_LoadMaintenancePubKey loads the public maintenance key into the TPM. The maintenance key can only be loaded once; any subsequent calls to this function will fail. The key information for loading the maintenance public key must be set in the key object by Tspi_SetAt- tribData before this method is called. If pValidationData is NULL, the TSS service provider proofs the digest got internally from the TPM. Otherwise, the caller has to proof the digest by its own. PARAMETERS
hTPM Handle of the TPM object hMaintenanceKey Handle of the maintenance key object pValidationData Validation data structure. [IN] Provide externalData information required to compute the signature. [OUT] On successful completion of the ocmmand, the structure provides a buffer containing the validation data and a buffer containing the data the validation data was computed from. RETURN CODES
Tspi_TPM_LoadMaintenancePubKey returns TSS_SUCCESS on success, otherwise one of the following values are returned: TSS_E_INVALID_HANDLE hTPM or hMaintenanceKey is not a valid handle. TSS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR An internal SW error has been detected. TSS_E_BAD_PARAMETER One or more of the parameters is incorrect. TSS_E_NOTIMPL The command is not implemented. CONFORMING TO
