12.6  Migrating between providers
IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1 introduced support for simultaneous use of both USB flash 
drives and a key server as encryption key providers. The system also allows migration from 
configuration using only USB flash drive provider to key servers provider, and vice versa.
If you want to migrate from one key server type to another (for example, migrating from SKLM 
to SafeNet KeySecure or vice-versa), direct migration is not possible. In this case, it is 
required first to migrate from the current key server type to a USB flash drive, and then 
migrate to the other type of key server.
12.6.1  Changing from USB flash drive provider to encryption key server
The system is designed to facilitate changing from USB flash drives encryption key provider 
to encryption key server provider. If you follow the steps that are described in 12.5.1, “Adding 
key servers as a second provider” on page 648, but when completing step 2 on page 648, 
select Yes instead of No (see Figure 12-65). This action causes de-activation of the USB 
flash drives provider, and the procedure completes with only key servers configured as key 
provider.

12.6.2  Changing from encryption key server to USB flash drive provider
Change in the other direction (that is, from the use of encryption key servers provider to USB 
flash drives provider), is not possible by using only the GUI.
To change the direction, add USB flash drives as a second provider by completing the steps 
described in 12.5.2, “Adding USB flash drives as a second provider” on page 651.
