PDFs
You use the StorageGRID Key Management Server wizard to add each KMS or KMS cluster.
-
You must have reviewed the considerations and requirements for using a key management server.
-
You must have configured StorageGRID as a client in the KMS, and you must have the required information for each KMS or KMS cluster
-
You must have the Root Access permission.
-
You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
If possible, configure any site-specific key management servers before configuring a default KMS that applies to all sites not managed by another KMS. If you create the default KMS first, all node-encrypted appliances in the grid will be encrypted by the default KMS. If you want to create a site-specific KMS later, you must first copy the current version of the encryption key from the default KMS to the new KMS.
