Steps for connecting to an LKM/SSKM appliance

The NetApp Lifetime Key Manager (LKM) resides on an FIPS 140-2 Level 3-compliant network
appliance. The encryption engine and LKM appliance communicate over a trusted link. A trusted
link is a secure connection established between the Brocade Encryption Switchswitch or blade and
the NetApp LKM/SSKM appliance, using a shared secret called a link key.

The following configuration steps are performed from the NetApp DataFort Management Console
(DMC) and from BNAthe Management application:

Install and launch the NetApp DataFort Management Console. Refer to

“Launching the NetApp

DataFort Management Console”

Obtain and import the LKM/SSKM certificate. Refer to

“Obtaining and importing the

LKM/SSKM certificate”
