Abstract

Customers using FlashSystem and DS8000 must apply GKLM 5.0.0.1-IFIX01 (5.0.0.1-ISS-GKLM-IF0001) after GKLM 5.0 FP01 (GKLM 5.0.0.1) is installed. GKLM 5.0 FP01 (GKLM 5.0.0.1) has a regression issue which breaks the communication for FlashSystem and DS8000. The issue has been fixed in 5.0.0.1-ISS-GKLM-IF0001.
NOTE: Only GKLM 5.0 FP01 (GKLM 5.0.0.1) is impacted. GKLM 5.0 is not impacted.  

Description

End point communication fails with GKLM 5.0 FP01 (GKLM 5.0.0.1). This failure is caused by change in the QueryServerInformation KMIP response because of change of GKLM vendor code from "SKLM" to "GKLM" in GKLM 5.0 FP 01 (GKLM 5.0.0.1) after change of product name from IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager to IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager.
This issue has already been fixed in 5.0.0.1-ISS-GKLM-IF0001 which was released on April 2025 .
