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 users with Administrator-level privileges and only applies to SKM servers. Both SKM servers must be connected and operational in order to import encryption keys. |
To import encryption keys:
From the Tools menu, select EKM Management > Encryption Key > Import.
In case of an incomplete import, the library displays a message and generates a RAS ticket instructing you to view the SKM Encryption Key Import Warning Log. For information about this log, and suggested solutions to various error messages, see the section about the SKM Encryption Key Import Warning Log in Viewing Library Logs.
