Migrating an Encryption Key Manager (EKM) 2.X Version during the

EKM 3.0 Installation

Perform this procedure only if you are configuring the Migration screen during the EKM 3.0 installation. The Migration

screen is used to migrate an Encryption Key Manager (EKM) 2.X version into EKM 3.0.

NOTE: If you are currently using EKM 2.X, Dell recommends maintaining your current infrastructure (servers,

operating systems, tape libraries, etc. that are under EKM 2.X protection), unless you are experiencing problems.

If you must migrate an EKM 2.X version into EKM 3.0, Dell recommends that you migrate it now.

NOTE: If you are using EKM 2.X with a virtual machine as the EKM 2.X host, you must stay with EKM 2.X or migrate

to a physical server. EKM 3.0 does not support virtual machines as hosts.

NOTE: During EKM 3.0 installation, you can only migrate a single EKM 2.X version. If you have more than one EKM

2.X version to port into EKM 3.0, migrate the first one using this procedure, then after the installation is complete,

refer to Merging Additional EKM 2.X Versions into EKM 3.0 to merge the additional versions.

It is possible to

merge

the EKM 2.X version into EKM 3.0 after the EKM 3.0 installation is complete using the EKM

2.X to EKM 3.0 merge tool, but Dell strongly recommends that you perform the migration at this time.

NOTE: If you are using a primary/secondary EKM 3.0 server configuration, then you must perform the migration

procedure only on the primary EKM 3.0 server.

When the migration is complete, perform a backup of the primary EKM 3.0 server and use the backup to restore the

secondary EKM 3.0 server to match the primary EKM 3.0 server.

To migrate from EKM 2.X during the EKM 3.0 installation process, continue to EKM 2.X to EKM 3.0 Migration Procedure.

EKM 2.X to EKM 3.0 Migration Procedure

To migrate an EKM 2.X version into EKM 3.0 from the Migration screen during the EKM 3.0 installation, perform the

following steps:

1. Log into the EKM 2.X console, back up the EKM 2.X keystore, stop the EKM 2.X server, and exit from the EKM 2.X

console. Refer the EKM 2.X user's guide for more information.

2. Copy the EKM 2.X folder:

If your EKM 2.X server is installed on a different machine than your target EKM 3.0 installation machine,

copy the

EKM 2.X folder on the EKM 2.X server to a temporary folder on the EKM 3.0 server (for example, C:\temp\MyEKM2 in

Windows, or /opt/myekm2 in Linux).

If your EKM 2.X server is installed on the same machine as your target EKM 3.0 installation machine,

you must still

make a copy of the EKM 2.X folder on that machine.

3. In the EKM 3.0 installation Migration screen, place a check mark in the Migrate from EKM 2.X to EKM 3.0 check

box.

4. Click Choose and navigate to the directory where you copied the EKM 2.X folder previously. Do not select anything

below this folder.

CAUTION: If your EKM 2.X server is installed on the same machine as your target EKM 3.0 installation

machine, then do not navigate to the directory where EKM 2.X is installed, because the EKM 3.0 installer

deletes the folder used for migration. Navigate to the copy of the EKM 2.X directory that you created

previously.

5. Click Next.

The Configuration Summary screen appears.
