Configuring KMS with NBU appliance as Media Server

[NAYAB]

Hi All, 

May i know if there is a specific document to configure KMS for NBU appliance on MSDP pool ? Any important points to take note of to setup in particular with KMS on DISK.

Thanks,

Nayab

Hello,

two points:

- KMS is configured on Master Server, regardless which types and platforms of Media Servers are controlled by this Master

- the purpose of KMS is an encryption of Tape backups, not Disk backups. You must use MSDP level encryption or client level encryption to achieve this
