Quality of Service

You can perform QoS administrative functions on the current primary CTE host. If the same CTE host is acting as a primary and secondary for multiple GuardPoints, the LDT schedule and/or Pause/Resume administrative options target those GuardPoints for which the host has assumed the primary role. This restriction is enforced through QoS functions available on CipherTrust Manager and the voradmin command.

The current pause/resume state of LDT at the host/client level, is contained in the /var/vormetric/vorm-prs file. This file is not protected. If it is accidentally removed or changed, it will be re-created and updated to reflect the correct pause/resume status within 30 seconds or less.

Be sure to pause or resume LDT on the primary host only.

Suspending LDT from the CTE Agent CLI and CM GUI

Promotion of a secondary host, to the primary role, can alter the current pause/resume state of the GuardPoint on the newly promoted host. The new state of the GuardPoint depends on the pause/resume state of the GuardPoint on the primary host prior to promotion. When a GuardPoint is suspended after promotion to primary, run the voradmin command on the GuardPoint to resume rekey. The following table describes the states:
