About this task

You can remove a KMS in these cases:

  • You can remove a site-specific KMS if the site has been decommissioned or if the site includes no appliance nodes with node encryption enabled.

  • You can remove the default KMS if a site-specific KMS already exists for each site that has appliance nodes with node encryption enabled.
