Installing and Configuring the SKM KVM Servers
Quantum Scalar Key Manager 2.5 Quick Start Guide
• The SKM server must have IP connectivity through any firewalls to all Quantum
libraries using the SKM appliance server to obtain encryption keys.
• SKM uses TCP ports 80, 6000 and 6001 for SKM server communication. These ports
must all be open on your network in a bi-directional mode in order for SKM
communication between the SKM servers and libraries to work.
