Re-establishing SIC Trust with Virtual Devices

In the event that you encounter connectivity problems due to the loss of SIC trust for a specific Virtual Device, you can use the following procedure to manually re-establish trust.

To manually re-establish SIC Trust with Virtual Devices:

1. Execute the following command from the VSX Gateway command line (In the expert mode): vsx sic reset <vsid>.

   vsid: Identification number of the Virtual Device

2. Execute the following command(s) on the management server:
   1. # mdsenv <target_domain_name>

      (Multi-Domain Security Management only)

   2. # cpca_client revoke_cert -n <vs_sic_name>

   vs_sic_name: Virtual Device SIC name. To determine the SIC name, run guidbedit.exe and search for the sic_name attribute on the Virtual Device network object.

3. In SmartDashboard, open the Virtual Device object and click OK. This action creates a new SIC certificate for the Virtual Device and saves it on the VSX Gateway.
