Adding a switch to an encryption group

3. Register the key vault. The Management application registers the key vault using the

cryptocfg

--reg keyvault command.

4. Enable the encryption engines. The Management application initializes an encryption switch

using the cryptocfg

--initEE [<slotnumber>] and cryptocfg --regEE [<slotnumber>]

commands.

5. Create a new master key. (Opaque key vaults only). The Management application checks for a

new master key. New master keys are generated from the Security tab located in the

Encryption Group Properties dialog box.

NOTE

A master key is not generated if the key vault type is LKM/SSKM. LKM/SSKM manages DEK

exchanges through a trusted link, and the LKM/SSKM appliance uses its own master key to

encrypt DEKs.

6. Save the switch’s public key certificate to a file. The Management application saves the KAC

certificate in the specified file.

7. Back up the master key to a file. (Opaque key vaults only). The Management application saves

the master key in the specified file.

Adding a switch to an encryption group

The setup wizard allows you to either create a new encryption group, or add an encryption switch to

an existing encryption group. Use the following procedure to add a switch to an encryption group:

1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar to display the Encryption Center

dialog box. (Refer to Figure 266 on page 694.)

2. Select a switch to add from the Encryption Center Devices table, then select Switch >

Create/Add to Group from the menu task bar.

NOTE

The switch must not already be in an encryption group.
