Using EKM Path Diagnostics
EKM Path Diagnostics is a series of short tests performed by the library to determine if the EKM servers
are connected and operating properly.
You can perform EKM Path Diagnostics tests manually at any time, or automatically in the background at
regular intervals:
•
Manual
— You can perform manual EKM Path Diagnostics at any time by clicking the
Test
button on
the EKM server setup screen (
Setup > Encryption > Server Configuration
).
•
Background
— The library is configured to automatically perform background EKM Path Diagnostics
tests at regularly scheduled intervals and notify you via RAS tickets if any problems arise. To do this,
go to
Setup > Physical Library
. Under
EKM Path Diagnostics
, select the
Enable
check box.
Note:
Background EKM Path Diagnostics is always enabled. You cannot disable it.
The tests performed are:
•
Ping
— Verifies the Ethernet communication between the library and the key servers.
•
Path
— Verifies that EKM/RKM/KMIP services are running on the key servers.
•
Config
— Verifies that the key servers are capable of serving encryption keys.
