Delete a KMA

Delete a failed or decommissioned KMA to remove it from the cluster. The KMA must be offline before deleting it.

Available to: Security Officer
  1. Before deleting a KMA, take it offline using the Console "Shutdown KMA" function. If you fail to do this, the KMA continues to function outside of the cluster and sends "stale information" to agents and users.
  2. From the System Management menu, select KMA List. Highlight the KMA you want to delete, and then click Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion.
    The system removes any entries associated with the KMA and not used by any other entity. If you want a deleted KMA to rejoin a cluster, you must reset the KMA to the factory default and select option 2 from the QuickStart program.
