Changing the primary key server

You can change which configured key server is the primary key server with the management GUI or the command-line interface.

Using the management GUI

To change which key server is the primary key server, complete these steps:
  1. In the management GUI, select Settings > Security > Encryption.
  2. Expand Key Servers and right-click a key server that is not marked as the primary and select Make Primary.
  3. The selected key server is now the primary key server.

Using the command-line interface

To change which key server is the primary key server, complete these steps:
  1. To list all the configured key servers and to determine the primary key server, enter the following command:
    lskeyserver
    From the displayed results, determine the key server that is currently defined as the primary key server and the ID of the new primary key server.
  2. To change the primary key server, enter the following command:
    chkeyserver -primary id
    where id is the ID of the new primary key server. The previous primary key server is removed automatically as the primary.
