758 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
4. After the task completes successfully, the GUI shows that encryption is licensed for the
given node, as shown in Figure 13-19.

Problems with manual license activation
Although authorization codes and encryption license keys use the same format (four groups
of four hexadecimal digits), you can only use each of them in the appropriate activation
process. If you use an authorization code when the system expects a license key, the system
will display an error message, as shown in Figure 13-20.

13.4 Enabling encryption
This section describes the process to create and store system master access key copies,
also referred to as encryption keys. These keys can be stored on any or both of two key
providers: USB flash drives or a key server.
Key server support is available in IBM Spectrum Virtualize code V7.8 and later. Additionally
IBM Spectrum Virtualize code V8.1 introduces the ability to define up to four encryption key
servers, which is a recommended configuration, as it increases key provider availability.
