The NetApp Lifetime Key Manager (LKM) resides on an FIPS 140-2 Level 3-compliant network

the NetApp LKM/SSKM appliance, using a shared secret called a link key.

(DMC) and from BNAthe Management application:

Install and launch the NetApp DataFort Management Console. Refer to

“Launching the NetApp

DataFort Management Console”
