Dell Encryption Key Manager and Library Managed Encryption 9
To minimize latency in providing keys to the drive, the EKM should be on 
a localized network. The EKM can be located on a different network or offsite 
from the library but the network bandwidth should be taken into account.
It is recommended that the audit log file folder be cleaned out periodically. 
Each audit file log is 1 MB and a new file with a new time stamp is created 
every time the current file reaches 1 MB. These files are located under 
C:\ekm\gui\audit
.
