Appliance clusters consist of all of the individual cluster nodes for the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault appliance. If you want to add an individual vault, for example, the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for KMIP, select Data Sources from the side menu bar. You need to create a connection with the Appliance Cluster to view the cluster in the Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager.
Log into the Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager webGUI with your standard account credentials.
In the side menu bar, select Appliance Clusters.
Select Actions > Initialize Connection.
On the Initialize Connection to a Cluster page, enter the appliance URL for one of the nodes of a Cryptographic Security Platform Vault.
Note: The appliance URL can be found by logging into the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault Management appliance, and then clicking Switch to Appliance Management in the top right corner. The URL should be similar to https://<IP_Address>/appliance/.
Click Create and Download File.

At the top of the page, you will see a warning that you are not connected to Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager. Click Connect Now.
