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 non-HADR master server to a 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.
