Get details of keys

To get details of the keys, use the NetBackup Key Management Service (KMS) utility command (the nbkmsutil command) with the included arguments.

#nbkmsutil -help -listkeys
nbkmsutil -listkeys -all | -kgname <key_group_name> 
[ -keyname <key_name> | -activekey ]
[ -noverbose | -export ]

-kgname

Specifies the key group name. The details of all of the keys belonging to a key group are returned.

-keyname

Gets the details of the specific key which belongs to a specific key group.

-activekey

Gets the details of a specific key group's active key.

-noverbose

Prints the details in formatted form (non-readable) format. The default is verbose. The output is displayed in a human readable form.

-export

Generates an output that the key_file requires. The key_file is used in the nbkmsutil -export -path <key_container_path > -key_file file. The output can be used for another key_file.
