Changing the tier information for an SKM or ESKM
Tiers are a way to indicate which SKM or ESKM appliances a library should contact first when it
needs to get an encryption key. For example, to avoid network performance issues, you might
want a library to access local SKM or ESKM appliances before remote SKM or ESKM appliances.
To specify this, you would enter the local SKM or ESKM appliances in tier 1 and the remote SKM
or ESKM appliances in tier 2. The library will try to get a key from any of the SKM or ESKM
appliances in tier 1 first. If none of the SKM or ESKM appliances in tier 1 respond, it will move to
tier 2. If you add or remove an SKM or ESKM from your network, you will need to update the tier
information by running the Key Management Setup Wizard and selecting Update Key Manager
Configuration and running the Key Management Setup Wizard.
