Exporting Encryption Keys
4
Each SKM server provides a unique encryption key for each tape cartridge
that is encrypted. In order for another (i.e., destination) SKM server to read
tapes encrypted by your SKM server, you need to export the encryption
keys used to encrypt those tapes and send them to the destination server.
You may also use this function to create a backup of your SKM
server
encryption keys in case of a catastrophic SKM server failure.
This function is available to users with
Administrator-level privileges and only applies to
SKM servers. Both SKM servers must be connected
and operational in order to export encryption key
certificates.
