Adding a device
You can add a device to the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager database.
About this task
If device.enableMachineAffinity is set to true, adding a device requires that you also add a relationship between a device and a machine. Otherwise, keys are not served to the added device. Using machine affinity, you can set key serving for specific device and machine combinations. Similarly, if device.enableVolserAffinity is set to true, adding a device requires that you also add a relationship between a device and its volume serial number.
You can use the Add Device dialog or the Device Add REST Service to add a device. Your role must have the permission to the create action and a permission to the appropriate device group.
