Hi,

I would like to backup the key in HSM 1 and restore the key into HSM 2, and continue to use HSM 2 to operate the key. does it work? Will it have any issue?

PS:  
backup the key: sc-hsm-tool --wrap-key  
restore the key: sc-hsm-tool --unwrap-key

Thanks.

Maybe this would be possible if you have DKEK configured on HSM 1.
