Why does Spectrum Scale not allow use of the default value of 0.0.0.0/0 for security group creation? 

For security reasons, Spectrum Scale does not allow you to provide a default value that would allow network traffic from any external device. Instead, you can provide the address of your user system (for example, by using [https://ipv4.icanhazip.com/](https://ipv4.icanhazip.com/)) or a multiple IP address range.





 What is an IBM Customer Number and what happens if I don't provide it? 

An IBM Customer Number (ICN) is the unique number that IBM issues its customers during the post-contract signing process. The ICN is important because it allows IBM to identify your company and support contract. Without an ICN, you can't deploy the Spectrum Scale resources through IBM Cloud Schematics.

If the storage_type deployment value is set as either "scratch" or "persistent", the ICN can't be set as an empty value. An empty value is accepted only if the storage_type is set as "evaluation".





 Can I directly destroy all Spectrum Scale resources from the CLI? 

Do not delete all of the resources from the CLI directly. The required resources that configure the Spectrum Scale cluster are created in two different phases of automation. To cleanly destroy a cluster, see [Destroying resources](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hpc-spectrum-scale?topic=hpc-spectrum-scale-deleting-resources&interface=cli).





 What are trusted profiles and what permissions are required to set up the offering? 

With Spectrum Scale, trusted profiles are used to set up granular authorization for applications that are running in compute resources; therefore, you are not required to create or use service IDs or API keys for the creation of compute resources.

The required set of permissions to create the compute resources are already added as part of the automation code. For more information, see [Creating trusted profiles](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-create-trusted-profile).





 Why did the destroy process fail to remove resources?
Why isn't the BGP peering session established? 

My BGP peering session isn't coming up. What should I do?

  What’s happening 

The BGP peering session cannot be established.

  Why it’s happening 

Possible causes are a problem with the IP configuration, an ASN mismatch, or your BGP peers are not configured with the same key to establish a BGP neighbor relationship.

  How to fix it 

Try the following fixes to resolve this issue:



1.  Ensure that the peer IPs for both sides of the BGP peering session are configured correctly.
2.  If an MD5 authentication key is configured, ensure that the MD5 authentication key is configured the same on both your Edge router and the IBM cross-connect router (XCR).
3.  If necessary, contact IBM Support.



For more information, see [Setting up BGP Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication keys](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/dl?topic=dl-dl-md5).

FAQs for Hardware Firewall 

The following frequently asked questions can help you when working with your Hardware Firewall.



 What is a firewall? 

A firewall is a network device that is connected upstream from a server. The firewall blocks unwanted traffic from a server before the server is reached.





 Why should I use a firewall? 

The primary advantage of having a firewall is that your server only has to handle “good” traffic – this means your resource is solely being used for its intended purpose as opposed to handling unwanted traffic, too.





 What firewall products does IBM© offer? 

You can find a detailed comparison of all firewall products offered in the IBM© Cloud by reviewing this [topic](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/fortigate-10g?topic=fortigate-10g-exploring-firewalls).





 Is the Hardware Firewall compatible with IBM's load balancer products? 

Yes. The Hardware Firewall is compatible with the cloud load balancing service, local load balancer, as well as the Citrix Netscaler VPX and MPX.





 Can portable IP’s be protected by the Hardware Firewall? 

No. Portable IPs are not available for protection because they can be moved between servers. Exceptions are made on a case by case basis as there are numerous caveats and require additional details about the customer's system design.





 Can I have a Hardware Firewall and a Network Gateway associated with the same VLAN? 

No, it is not possible to have a Hardware Firewall and a Network Gateway device assigned to the same VLAN. The expanded functionality of the Network Gateway device provides firewall features for your network in place of a standard firewall.





 Does public traffic pass through my load balancer or Hardware Firewall first? 

Coming from the public internet in, the load balancing products are first, the Hardware Firewall products are next, and the NetScaler products are last (along with the customers servers).





 Does a server's uplink port speed need to match the Hardware Firewall? 

The Hardware Firewall does need to match the public uplink speed of the server. However, because it only protects the public side of the network, the public uplink speed is what must match the firewall selection.
Why is my origin pool degraded or critical? 

You checked the status of your origin pool after waiting for 10 minutes, and it's critical or degraded.

  What’s happening 

Your origin pool status is critical or degraded.

  How to fix it 

See [Why is my origin status down?](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/dns-svcs?topic=dns-svcs-troubleshoot-origin-down) for more information.
Before you perform the steps, make sure you have [provisioned a service instance](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hs-crypto?topic=hs-crypto-provision) and initialized the service instance with either [the Trusted Key Entry (TKE) command-line interface (CLI) plug-in](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hs-crypto?topic=hs-crypto-initialize-hsm) or [the Management Utilities](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hs-crypto?topic=hs-crypto-initialize-hsm-management-utilities).



1. In the CLI, update the TKE CLI plug-in to the latest version with the following command:

ibmcloud plugin update tke
2. To check whether the BIP32 feature is enabled, run the following command:

ibmcloud tke cryptounit-compare

The following output is an example of what is to be displayed. If the BIP32 feature is enabled, the XCP_CPB_BTC column is specified as Set in the CONTROL POINTS section:

CONTROL POINTS
SERVICE INSTANCE: f410ea28-691a-4708-a580-1f813e0a6d31
CRYPTO UNIT NUM XCP_CPB_BTC
1 Set
2 Set

If Not Set is displayed, perform the following steps to manually enable the BIP32 feature.







 Step 2: Enable BIP32 manually 

To enable BIP32 for your service instance, follow these steps:



1. Check and make sure all crypto units in your service instance are selected with the following command:

ibmcloud tke cryptounits

The following output is an example of what is to be displayed. All selected crypto units are marked true in the SELECTED column:

SERVICE INSTANCE: 482cf2ce-a06c-4265-9819-0b4acf54f2ba
CRYPTO UNIT NUM SELECTED LOCATION
1 true [us-south].[AZ3-CS3].[02].
* What IBM catalog offerings work with Hyper Protect Virtual Servers?

In general, all offerings work with Hyper Protect Virtual Servers except for offerings that work explicitly only with classic infrastructure or VPC infrastructure. These offerings do not work with Hyper Protect Virtual Servers.
* I cannot access my server after a restart because the boot disk is almost full. How can I recover the server?

You can't recover your server because the boot disk is not resizable. You need to create a new server and restore your backups to them. Consider monitoring your server resource usage to prevent the same problem in the future. Verify that your file system usage is according to the recommendations in [Hyper Protect Virtual Servers file system characteristics](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hp-virtual-servers?topic=hp-virtual-servers-protect_vshpvs_fs).



IBM Cloud Hardware Security Modules



* What is a Hardware Security Module (HSM)?

An HSM is a piece of hardware that processes cryptographic operations and does not allow encryption keys to leave the secure cryptographic environment. Data that is shared, stored, or in motion, is encrypted at its point of creation and you can run and maintain your own data protection policies in the cloud.
* What HSM does IBM Cloud rely on?

IBM® leverages Thales SafeNet Luna Network HSM technology for Cloud HSM 6.0 and 7.0 offerings. This solution gives use ease of access to 60 IBM Cloud® data centers around the world that you can use to solve their compliance and data sovereignty challenges.
* Which version of IBM Cloud HSM should I order?

In most cases, you need to order the newest version of an HSM. With older versions, you might have compatibility issues with high availability if you have older HSMs. If you already have older versions, contact Support to determine which version is right for you.
* Can I migrate my existing HSM to a new version?

Your HSM can't be migrated. Instead, cancel your existing HSM from the Devices menu, and order a new version.
* Is IBM Cloud HSM FIPS certified?
Subnet1 is attached to a Public Gateway (PGW). Can a customer still assign a floating IP to instance1? 

Yes, a server can be on a subnet that is attached to a public gateway and also have a floating IP. The assignment of floating IP to an instance is not related to whether a public gateway is attached to the subnet. A floating IP associated to an instance takes precedence over the public gateway that is attached to the subnet.





 What regions are available? 

You can create virtual server instances for IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud in Dallas (us-south), Washington DC (us-east), London (eu-gb), Sydney (au-syd), Tokyo (jp-tok), Osaka (jp-osa), Frankfurt (eu-de), Madrid (eu-es), Toronto (ca-tor), and São Paulo (br-sao).





 Can I use existing virtual server instances from my classic infrastructure with an IBM Cloud VPC? 

You can migrate a virtual server instance from the classic infrastructure to a VPC. You need to create an image template, export it to IBM Cloud Object Storage, and then customize the image to meet the requirements of the VPC infrastructure. For more information, see [Migrating a virtual server from the classic infrastructure](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-migrate-vsi-to-vpc).





 What virtual server families are supported in IBM Cloud VPC? 

Currently, public virtual servers in the balanced, memory, and compute families are supported. For more information, see [Profiles](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-profilesprofiles).





 What do I do if an instance is in a bad state, such as continually starting or stopping? 

You can issue a command to force the instance to stop. Use the IBM Cloud CLI to obtain the instance ID, and then run the following command, ibmcloud is instance-stop --no-wait -f. When the instance is stopped, you can either restart it or delete it.
* Why is there a discrepancy in the supported number of VMs for VMware Aria Operations licenses?

You might see a discrepancy in the supported number of VMs between what is displayed on the VMware Aria Operations Manager console and the per CPU metering in IBM Cloud. This issue happens if you did not select the Product evaluation (no key required) option when you first accessed the VMware Aria Operations Manager console after service installation. For more information, see [Accessing the VMware Aria Operations Manager console](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-managing_vropsmanaging_vrops-access-vrops-console).

This discrepancy is a result of VMware Aria Operations keys that are created for IBM Cloud subscription licensing per virtual machine (VM) capacity. However, in IBM Cloud, the VMware Aria Operations licenses are measured and billed per CPU, and not per VM.

The discrepancy does not indicate any service or licensing problem for VMware Aria Operations and VMware Aria Operations™ for Logs. The service is fully licensed for all VMs on each vCenter Server host and continues to work properly.
* What is VMware Shared?

VMware Shared is a multitenant VMware® infrastructure solution based on a robust VMware® product called VMware Cloud Director. You can use this solution to rapidly create, migrate, and use your virtual machines (VMs) in the Cloud.
* What are my options to use resources with VMware Shared?

You are provided with the following two consumption models:



* On-demand. With this consumption model, you pay only for the compute resources that you use, in an hourly pricing model.
* Reserved. With this consumption model, you can reserve compute resources in advance to ensure that your capacity is available when you need it. Billing for Reserved is available monthly, yearly, or on a multi-year basis. Other resources, such as storage and egress, are billed per usage, regardless of the consumption model.



* Why do I want to subscribe to VMware Shared?
If the resource is not found, the state file is updated, and the Terraform execution plan are changed.

To keep your IBM Cloud Schematics state file and the IBM Cloud resources in your account in sync, use IBM Cloud Schematics to provision, or remove your resources.
* What changes can I make to my resources?

You can choose to add, modify, or remove infrastructure code in your Terraform template through GitHub, or update variable values from the Schematics Workspaces dashboard.
* How can I compare the required state of my cloud resources against the actual state of my resources?

To create a deviation report and view the changes between the infrastructure and platform services that you specified in your Terraform configuration files. You can use Terraform execution plans. A Terraform execution plan summarizes what actions Schematics needs to take to provision the cloud environment that is described in your Terraform configuration files. These actions can include adding, modifying, or removing IBM Cloud resources.
* What are the deviations that cannot be detected?



* A Terraform execution plan is based on the [Terraform state file](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-schematics-cli-referencestate-file-cmds) that is created when you run your first Schematics apply action.
* Resources that you provisioned in other Schematics Workspaces by using automation tools such as Ansible, or Chef that are added without Schematics are not considered included in the Terraform execution plan.



* How must I remove resources with IBM Cloud Schematics?

You can use the IBM Cloud Schematics console or CLI to remove all the resources that you provisioned with Schematics. To stay in synchronize with your Terraform template, make sure to remove the associated infrastructure code from your Terraform template. So that, your resources are not added again when you apply a new version of your Terraform template.
* What happens if I choose to delete my resource directly from the resource dashboard?

When you manually remove a resource that you provisioned with IBM Cloud Schematics, the state file is not updated automatically and becomes out of sync.
In the CLI, update the TKE CLI plug-in to the latest version with the following command:

ibmcloud plugin update tke
2. To check whether the Schnorr algorithm is enabled, run the following command:

ibmcloud tke cryptounit-compare

The following output is an example of what is to be displayed. If the Schnorr algorithm is enabled, the XCP_CPB_ECDSA_OTHER column is specified as Set in the CONTROL POINTS section:

CONTROL POINTS
SERVICE INSTANCE: f410ea28-691a-4708-a580-1f813e0a6d31
CRYPTO UNIT NUM XCP_CPB_ECDSA_OTHER
1 Set
2 Set

If Not Set is displayed, perform the following steps to manually enable the Schnorr algorithm.







 Step 2: Enable the Schnorr algorithm manually 

To enable the Schnorr algorithm for your service instance, follow these steps:



1. Check and make sure all crypto units in your service instance are selected with the following command:

ibmcloud tke cryptounits

The following output is an example of what is to be displayed. All selected crypto units are marked true in the SELECTED column:

SERVICE INSTANCE: 482cf2ce-a06c-4265-9819-0b4acf54f2ba
CRYPTO UNIT NUM SELECTED LOCATION
1 true [us-south].[AZ3-CS3].[02].[03]
2 true [us-south].[AZ2-CS2].[02].[03]
2. If any of the crypto units are not selected, run the following command and follow the prompts to add the crypto units to the selected list:

ibmcloud tke cryptounit-add
3. To enable the Schnorr algorithm, run the following command:

ibmcloud tke cryptounit-cp-sig-other

Creating a design requirements heat map image 

The solution architecture heat map is based on the architecture framework and is used to identify the requirements and capabilities and drive the architecture decisions for the solution.

A template of the heat map is available and can be updated in draw.io. The values in the heat map are intended to be the same from architecture to architecture. You update the template to highlight which components apply to your architecture.

The aspects and domains of the architecture framework can be used as a guide to clarify requirements and determine which domains will be utilized for any solution. Some example questions that will determine the domains for which you need to make component choices are:



* Do you have requirements for Security, including Network, Data, or Identity and Access Management?
* What are your Resiliency requirements, including Backup, Disaster Recovery and High Availability? What are the SLA, RTO/RPO requirements?
* What are your connectivity (Network) requirements? Is dedicated, private connectivity back to your enterprise needed? Is the solution multi-tier? If high availability is needed, will you need a load balancing capability?



Your requirements will determine the domains applicable to the solution and drive the component choices.

The solution architecture heat map provides an at-a-glance view of the domains mapped to your solution requirements. The following figure illustrates an example of the aspects and domains associated with common requirements for containerized workloads deployed on a hybrid, multi-cloud environment. For each of the domains highlighted in the solution architecture heat map you will document the architecture decision needs.

Your HSM can't be migrated. Instead, cancel your existing HSM from the Devices menu, and order a new version.





 Is IBM Cloud HSM FIPS certified? 

Yes, IBM Cloud HSM 7.0 is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified, and is designed to make sure that enterprises receive a reliable and secure solution for the management of their cryptographic assets. IBM Cloud HSM 6.0 is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), digital signatures, and cryptographic key storage.





 What use cases can I address with IBM Cloud HSM? 

You can use the HSM service to support Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), code signing, database encryption, document signing, Digital Rights Management (DRM), authentication and authorization, and transaction processing.





 How many partitions will my IBM Cloud HSM support? 

IBM Cloud HSM 6.0 and 7.0 support up to 10 partitions.
Therefore, if you have two mail servers or a mail server and a mail spooler, set the lower priority to your main mail server and set a higher priority to your backup mail server or mail spooler.

Host field: You can specify a mail hostname here, but in most cases, it is not necessary. It is recommended to create a blank host (use a @ for the hostname) and point it to your mail server.

Goes to field: The address of the mail server. What is commonly done here is using the mail hostname that you created in the A record section to point to your mail server.

It is highly recommended that you point MX records to a domain name, and that domain name (just like a CNAME record) ends with a dot.





 TXT records 

A TXT record generally is a record that you can query, and which returns information about a domain. These records can be used for SPF indicators, for crafting port and protocol connections, or just for returning information about a domain. They are most commonly used with the SPF protocol.

Name: The host that the TXT record can be queried by.

Value: What the TXT record returns, placed in quotes.
