Sharing Encrypted Tapes – Import/Export Operations

Importing Data Encryption Keys

Quantum Encryption Key Manager User’s Guide 53

7 Possible Step: You may be asked to enter the WWN key for the

imported keys. If you are not asked for the WWN key, then skip this

step.

You will be asked for the WWN key if the default name of the key file

was changed and Q-EKM cannot identify the WWN key from the file

name (the default name is

EXK00E09E<WWN key>_<date>.jck).

Q-EKM looks for the WWN key during the import process (see

Understanding How Q-EKM Uses Aliases

on page 41). If the WWN

key no longer appears in the file name, then the administrator who

sent you the file must provide the WWN key and you must enter it

manually.

The WWN key can be found in the

library_wwnamekey file located in

the

QEKM directory on the Q-EKM server that generated the key file:

8 The import process takes a few minutes. When complete, you are

prompted to press

<Enter>.

9 When prompted, press

<Enter> to return to the Key Import/Export

menu.

10 Import the data encryption keys on the other server in the Q-EKM

server pair or copy the keystore to the other server.

The keystore file is called EKMKeys.jck and is located in the QEKM

directory of the Q-EKM server:

Windows

c:\Program Files\Quantum\QEKM

Linux

/opt/Quantum/QEKM

Caution: IMPORTANT: Importing keys updates the keystore file.

To make sure the primary and secondary keystores

match, when finished importing, either import the

keys on the other server in the Q-EKM server pair, or

manually copy the keystore to the other server in the

Q-EKM server pair. You must do this manually

because the synchronization process does not copy the

keystore.

Windows

c:\Program Files\Quantum\QEKM

Linux

/opt/Quantum/QEKM
