Restoring keys from a key management server

Restore a data encryption license key from the key management server. You can restore up to 1,028 data encryption license keys at a time.

The client certificate is required to restore backed up data encryption license keys from a key management server.

If you do not have the client certificate, and the system administrator replaces the SVP due to a failure, you cannot restore the backed up data encryption license keys.
