Chapter 7: Encryption Key Management
Configuring Scalar Key Manager (SKM) on the Library
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 177
Step 3: Install SKM on a
Server or Servers
You must use two key servers with SKM. You can purchase the two
servers from Quantum or provide your own. Follow the instructions that
came with your SKM system for installing SKM software on the servers.
Note: Make sure ports 80, 6000, and 6001 on the SKM servers are
opened up in a bi-directional mode. If they are not, the library
will not be able to communicate with the SKM servers.
Step 4: Configure
Encryption Settings and
Key Server Addresses
Make sure to complete the above steps before proceeding.
Note: You cannot edit the encryption system configuration settings
when any partition is enabled for library managed encryption.
If this happens, go to Setup > Encryption > Partition
Configuration, change all EKM partition settings from Enable
Library Managed to Allow Application Managed. Then make
your changes to the system configuration settings. Finally, go
back and change all the EKM partition settings to Enable
Library Managed.
