You might want to remove a key management server in some cases. For example, you might want to remove a site-specific KMS if you have decommissioned the site.
-
You have reviewed the considerations and requirements for using a key management server.
-
You are signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported web browser.
-
You have the Root access permission.
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.
-
Select CONFIGURATION > Security > Key management server.
The Key management server page appears and shows all key management servers that have been configured.
-
Select the KMS you want to remove, and select Actions > Remove.
You can also remove a KMS by selecting the KMS name in the table and selecting Remove from the KMS details page.
-
Confirm the following is true:
-
You are removing a site-specific KMS for a site that has no appliance node with node encryption enabled.
-
You are removing the default KMS, but a site-specific KMS already exists for each site with node encryption.
-
-
Select Yes.
The KMS configuration is removed.
