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.

Before you begin
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.

Steps

  1. Select CONFIGURATION > Security > Key management server.

    The Key management server page appears and shows all key management servers that have been configured.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Select Yes.

    The KMS configuration is removed.
