Configuring Multiple Libraries
Quantum Scalar Key Manager 2.5 Quick Start Guide
Data encryption keys are generated
.
As soon as you apply the SKM server IP
addresses, the library automatically triggers each SKM server to generate a set
of unique data encryption keys. The key generation process should take 30
minutes or less to complete, depending on network performance. The library
generates a RAS ticket when the process is complete. Wait until you receive this
ticket before going to the next step.
Note:
If the key generation fails, the library generates a RAS ticket. Follow the
instructions in the ticket to resolve any errors, then initiate manual key
generation by changing the encryption method on an SKM partition to
Enable Library Managed
(as described in
Step 5
below). If key
generation continues to fail, run EKM Path Diagnostics to help
determine where the problem lies.

Configuring Multiple Libraries
If you will have multiple libraries accessing the same SKM server pair, repeat
Configuring
Your Library For SKM
on page 38 and
Backing Up the Servers
on page 43 for each
additional library.
