Exclusive SSH keys come packaged in a file. The file name has this format:
HCP-S-SSHKeyPackage-<customer-name>-SN<s-series-node-serial-number>-timestamp.plk
In this format:
- <customer-name> is the name of the customer that owns the S Series Node, with no spaces between words.
- <s-series-node-serial-number> is the full serial number of the S Series Node.
-
timestamp is the date and time when the SSH key package was generated, in this format:
yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss
For example:
HCP-S-SSHKeyPackage-ExampleCompany-SNHHC310000001-03-19-2024.plk
The SSH keys in a package work only on the S Series Node for which the package was created.
To install exclusive SSH keys, you upload the SSH key package on the S Series Node. If the S Series Node is the one for which the package was created, the S Series Node automatically installs the SSH keys. If the SSH key package was created for a different S Series Node, the S Series Node rejects the package and does not install the SSH keys.
The procedure below uses the HCP S Series Management Console to install exclusive SSH keys.
Ask your authorized service provider for an SSH key package for the S Series Node on which you want to install exclusive SSH keys.
