The Security tab (Figure 10) displays the status of the master key for the encryption group.
NOTE
You must enable encryption engines before you back up or restore master keys.
Master key actions, which are disabled if unavailable, are as follows:
• Back up a master key, which is enabled any time a master key exists when using an RSA or HP
SKM key vault.
• Restore a master key, which is enabled when using an RSA or HP SKM key vault and either no
master key exists or the previous master key has been backed up.
• Create a new master key, which is enabled when using an RSA or HP SKM key vault and either
no master key exists or the previous master key has been backed up.
See “Master keys” on page 75 for complete information about managing master keys.
NOTE
Encryption is not allowed until the master key has been backed up.
