Modifying a storage image

You can modify information about a storage image in the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager database. For example, you might update the storage image description.

About this task

Before you begin, create the certificates that you want to associate with the storage images that you are about to modify. If you use the REST interface, obtain the value of the uuid for the storage image that you intend to update and the alias of any certificate that is associated with the storage image.

You can use the Modify Storage Image dialog or Device Update REST Service to update a storage image. Your role must have permissions to the modify action and to the appropriate device group.
