Switch the Replication Version

Set the replication version to the highest value to support the most features.

The security officer must manually set the replication version. OKM never changes the version automatically. Switching the replication version on one KMA will set all KMAs in the cluster to that replication version (assuming the software version on the KMA supports that level).
Available to: Security Officer
  1. Log in to a KMA that has been activated. In the left navigation menu, expand System Management, expand Local Configuration, and then select Software Upgrade.
  2. If the Supported Replication Versions column includes a higher version than the Current Replication Version column, click Switch Replication Version.
  3. Select a new replication version, and click OK. OKM will set all KMAs that can support the replication version.

Replication Version Features

The availability of certain features depends on the replication version of the KMA.
