Basic encryption test: Verifies encryption is working on partitions configured for encryption. See
“Basic encryption test” (page 10).
Failover test: Verifies keys can be retrieved from another server if the server currently in use becomes
unavailable. See “Failover test” (page 11).
Some of the steps occur on the KMIP server and HP cannot provide specific details. For the SafeNet
KMIP server, log files can be found on the SafeNet Device > Log Viewer > System screen. See your
server vendor documentation for specific instructions and additional information.
Connectivity test
Run the connectivity test from the Configuration: Security page. In the KMIP Diagnostics pane, click
Test Server Connectivity. The test will check network connectivity and the KMIP login credentials
and then display the test results. When successful, the report will have four green check marks for
each configured server.

initialization.
