FIPS card - How to tell if it has been initialised
We have some 8900 LTM's that have a FIPS card installed. Long story short is that we need to re-use these boxes in a non-FIPS mode. The boxes have never been put live but they are installed and on the network.
What we're not sure of is if a previous, now left, staff member actually initialised the FIPS card or not. There does not appear to be an easy way to determine this (sho sys crypto fips key shows no keys in the FIPS card but that doesn't guarantee it hasn't been intialised).
Anybody know a way to check the intialisation state of a FIPS card (without activating it :) )
