Using Automatic EKM
Path Diagnostics

You can enable the library to automatically perform EKM Path

Diagnostics at selected intervals. During each interval, the library tests

every configured key server. The default test interval is four hours. The

library generates a RAS ticket if there are problems.

Note:

Performing Diagnostics will log off all other users of

the same or lower privileges and take your partitions

offline. When you exit Diagnostics, the partitions

automatically come back online.

Note:

The diagnostics tests may take several minutes to

complete.
