CA-HSM clustering

-

hi

i understand there lots of threads talking ca clustering, have specific requirement , not able find answer. apologies if feel there answers around.

my set is:

site - ca1 configured hsm1.

site b - ca2 configured hsm2

the cluster made of ca1 & ca2. certificate data base shared ca1 & ca2.

do need include hsm1 & hsm2 in cluster well? planning not cluster hsms avoid ca applications accessing hsm across sites.

my understanding is:

when ca1 goes down, ca2 become active node , should start using hsm2.

when hsm1 down, ca1 still active node. when ca1 tries contact hsm1 fail , ca2 becomes active node , starts using hsm2.

please rectify understanding incorrect.

thanks

> need include hsm1 & hsm2 in cluster well?

no, don't need. hsms must attached respective cluster nodes only. ca should not have access hsm2 , ca access hsm1.
