The Security tab (Figure 50) displays the status of the master key for the encryption group.

NOTE

You must enable encryption engines before you back up or restore master keys.

Master key actions are as follows:

• Create a new master key, which is enabled when no master key exists or the previous master

key has been backed up.

• Back up a master key, which is enabled any time a master key exists.

• Restore a master key, which is enabled when either no master key exists or the previous

master key has been backed up.

See “Master keys” on page 61 for complete information about managing master keys.

NOTE

Encryption is not allowed until the master key has been backed up.
