Migration might cause a drive of a specific type to appear with an UNKNOWN label

Migration might cause a drive of a specific type to appear with an UNKNOWN label in the IBM® Security Guardium® Key Lifecycle Manager graphical user interface.

Migration from Encryption Key Manager does not resolve the device group for all drives. It is a limitation.

The current migration result is shown in the following table:

Table 1. Device group assignment after migration from Encryption Key Manager
Drive characteristic Assigned device group
Drives with an alias or aliases defined 3592 tape drive
Drives that follow the serial number specification for 3592 tape drives 3592 tape drive
Drives with symAlias defined LTO tape drive
Other drives that do not define an alias, a symAlias, or follow a serial number specification for 3592 tape drives UNKNOWN

After a drive of an unknown type makes a request to IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager, its type might change to a known device group. Alternatively, you can modify the device group by the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager graphical user interface.
