Add an EKM server to HMC

In order to use hardware tape encryption with our IBM i servers, we need to have a set of servers configured with an EKM product (SKLM, formerly TKLM) to manage the keys.

It would be nice of the HMC could have an integrated EKM server so we can manage our power hardware and their related tape libraries from one point.

    Hi,

    SKLM itself is a separate offering and at this point of time, we don't have plans of bundling/hosting SKLM with the HMC. Please do re-open the RFE with more details if the request is not for bundling SKLM with HMC.

    Thanks.

    Thanks.
