Importing Encryption Certificates

The encryption certificate contains a public key that is used to wrap
(encrypt) encryption keys prior to transporting them to another SKM
server. When sharing tape cartridges, or when performing a backup in
the event of SKM server failure, you need to import the encryption key
certificate of the destination SKM server.
Note: 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 import
encryption key certificates.
Before starting this process, read and follow the sequence of steps
outlined in Sharing Encrypted Tape Cartridges
1 Receive the encryption key certificate file from the destination SKM
server administrator and save it to a known location on your
computer.
2 From the Tools menu, select EKM Management > Encryption
Certificate > Import.
The SKM Encryption Certificate Import dialog box appears.
