You just need to install multiple instances of the JDK retaining your older JDK prior to 6.0.1. GEICO has so far refused to upgrade from EKM to ISKLM till we either acquire hardware or need function like full disk encryption not supported by EKM.
Attaching E07 drives native is not supported by EKM. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ts7700/cust/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.storage.ts7740.doc%2Fts7740_drives_3592.html Here is part of the answer we got from IBM on the same question "As you know there are multiple versions of the Java SDK for z/OS. The EKM component is still available in the z/OS SDKs listed below, and will remain in these SDKs for the life of these SDKs. The EKM component in these SDKs has not been enhanced since 2008 with new device support. If you have a deployment of the EKM component that utilizes one of the SDKs listed you can certainly continue to use these SDKs for that EKM deployment and the devices that are presently supported by the EKM component. IBM 31-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, V6.0.0 IBM 31-bit SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, V5 IBM SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, V1.4" We will be upgrading from z/OS 1.12 to 1.13 starting next month and don't plan on replacing EKM yet unless something comes up unexpected.

We are getting ready to upgrade to z/OS V1.13 and have a question of EKM (Encryption Key Manager). I know that if I do not hold onto the Java 1.6.0 files - it might not work. So is there a no charge replacement for EKM? Or is IBM forcing customers to go to Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager?
