Switching to internal key management method

You can switch to internal key management from the existing methods (key servers or USB flash drives) without impacting the encrypted objects and data.

Ensure that the encryption recovery key is available for validation if configured on the system. Without validating the encryption recovery key, the migration between key management methods cannot be performed.
Note: Switching to internal key management method disables the currently enabled external method. This does not disable or regenerate the encryption recovery key.

Before you initiate migration (switch) to internal key management method, make sure that the internal key management is accessible.

Using the management GUI

To switch from the existing methods (key servers or USB flash drives) to internal key management method that uses the management GUI, complete these steps:
  1. Select Settings > Security > Encryption.
  2. Select Edit encryption method by clicking the Encryption Label.
  3. Enter the encryption recovery key for validation.
  4. After successful validation of the encryption recovery key, select the Internal key management option and click Next.
After successful completion of the switch to flow, the internal key management method gets enabled and previously configured external method gets disabled.
