Encryption Keys
SKM servers provide a unique encryption key for each tape cartridge
that is encrypted. In order to read tapes encrypted by a different (i.e.,
source) SKM server, you need to import the encryption keys used to
encrypt those tapes onto your SKM server (i.e., destination).
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.
To import encryption keys:
1 Before starting
this process, read and follow the sequence of steps
outlined in

2 Recei
ve the file of encryption keys from the source SKM server and
save it in a known location on your computer.
