Adding an existing IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager instance with data to the Multi-Master cluster

You can use the export and import feature of IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager to add data from an existing IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager instance to the Multi-Master cluster. You must import the data that was exported from the existing stand-alone instance to the Primary master server that is configured with DB2 HADR.

About this task

You cannot directly add an existing stand-alone instance with data into the cluster. You must first import data from the existing IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager instance to the primary master. Then, add a master server into the cluster separately.

After data is imported, the data is available on all instances in the cluster. It is up to you to decide whether to add a master separately.

Procedure

  1. Export device group data from the existing IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager instance. For more information about how to export device group data, see Exporting a device group.
  2. Import the data that was exported from the existing stand-alone instance to the primary master server that is configured with DB2 HADR. For more information about how to import device group data, see Importing a device group.
  3. After you successfully import data to the primary server, you can access data from all the masters in the cluster. If you need a dedicated IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager master to access the imported data, add a master to the cluster. For more information about adding a master, see Adding a master to the cluster.

What to do next

You might want to decommission the existing stand-alone IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager instance after you successfully exported the data.
