The KMS is an KMIP-compliant key server that could be a hardware or software appliance external to the server, or it could be reside on VM on the server. Obviously you don't want to encrypt it if it's on a VM.
hi, I was just studying this today. The KMS server is not vSphere component it can be windows server providing the KMS service. You probably figured it out a couple of months ago but just in case.
Hey Eric, very nice one.
Shared in my blog. Thank you,
Is this feature not available under the Evaluation License?
vCenter isnt letting me choose common rules or add component
nevermind, I had to set up a datacenter, cluster, and hosts first
There no mention what the KMS is?? What is it, is it a VMware component, windows etc.. i have no idea it's not obvious.
