To import encryption certificates:
1 Before starting this process, read and follow the sequence of steps
outlined in Sharing Encrypted Tape Cartridges
2 Receive the encryption certificate file from the destination SKM
server administrator and save it to a known location on your
computer.
3 From the menu, select EKM Management > Encryption
Tools
Certificate > Import.
4 Click Browse to locate the saved encryption certificate file.
5 Click Open.
6 Click Apply to import the certificate onto your SKM server.
7 Back up both SKM servers to protect against catastrophic server
failure.
SKM servers provide a unique encryption key for each tape cartridge
that is encrypted. For another (i.e., destination) SKM server to read
tapes encrypted by your SKM server (i.e., source), you need to export the
encryption keys used to encrypt those tapes and send them to the
destination server.
Note: This function is available to administrators and only applies to
SKM servers. Both SKM servers must be connected and
operational in order to import encryption keys.
