Do not clear the KMS configuration if you plan to reinstall an appliance node in a
StorageGRID system that uses the same KMS key.
• Before you can recover and reinstall a node where the KMS configuration was lost and the KMS key is not
recoverable.
• Before returning any appliance that was previously in use at your site.
• After decommissioning a appliance that had node encryption enabled.
Decommission the appliance before clearing KMS to move its data to other nodes in your
StorageGRID system. Clearing KMS before decommissioning the appliance will result in data
loss and might render the appliance inoperable.
Steps
1. Open a browser, and enter one of the IP addresses for the appliance’s compute controller.
https://
Controller_IP
:8443
Controller_IP
is the IP address of the compute controller (not the storage controller) on any of the
three StorageGRID networks.
