To verify the rngd service startup
Purpose
Perform this procedure to ensure that the RHEL rngd service is loaded and running on each NFM-P component.
Note: If FIPS is enabled at the OS level, the procedure is not required, as the rngd service is disabled in RHEL 8.4 and later if FIPS is enabled.
Note: You must perform the steps on each NFM-P component station.

If the status output indicates that the service is not loaded and running, enter the following to start the service: systemctl enable rngd.service systemctl start rngd.service The service starts. End of steps |
