Link Keys tab
Connections between a switch and an NetApp LKM key vault require a shared link key. Link keys
are used only with LKM key vaults. They are used to protect data encryption keys in transit to and
from the key vault. There is a separate link key for each key vault for each switch. The link keys are
configured for a switch but are stored in the encryption engines, and all the encryption engines in a
switch share the same link keys.
You must create link keys under the following circumstances:
• When a new encryption group is created.
• When a new switch is added to an encryption group.
• When a new key vault is added to an encryption group.
• After all encryption engines in a switch have been zeroized.
• When all of the encryption blades have been removed from a director and one or more new
encryption blades have been added.
NOTE
There are no editable fields or functions using the Link Keys tab. You must use the CLI to create link
keys.
