managed encryption at the first write operation at the
beginning of tape (BOT). If the media was previously written in
a non-encrypted format, all data subsequently written to it will
continue to be non-encrypted.
• Data stored on tape cartridges will not be encrypted with more
than one encryption key.
•
Q-EKM
supports encryption for data cartridges using IBM LTO-4
or later Fibre Channel tape drives. If you are using Q-EKM and
want to enable library managed encryption for a partition, all of
the tape drives in that partition must be IBM LTO-4 and/or later
Fibre Channel tape drives.
Generating Encryption Keys for Q-EKM:
Encryption keys are
generated during the Q-EKM installation and configuration
process.
•
SKM
supports encryption for data cartridges using HP LTO-4,
and later as well as IBM LTO-5 and later Fibre Channel drives. If
you are using SKM and want to enable library managed
encryption for a partition, all of the tape drives in that partition
must be either HP LTO-4 and/or later or IBM LTO-5 and/or later
Fibre Channel tape drives.
Generating Encryption Keys for SKM:
The library
automatically generates keys as soon as you configure the SKM
server. Note that you cannot change a partition to library
managed encryption until after key generation is complete.
Caution:
Once encryption keys have been generated, make
sure to back up both SKM servers before using any
encryption keys. Refer to the
Scalar Key Manager
User’s Guide.
•
TKLM/SKLM
supports encryption for data cartridges using IBM
LTO-4 or later Fibre Channel tape drives. If you are using TKLM/
SKLM and want to enable library managed encryption for a
partition, all of the tape drives in that partition must be IBM
LTO-4 and/or later Fibre Channel tape drives.
•
Generating Encryption Keys for TKLM/SKLM:
Encryption keys
are generated during the TKLM/SKLM installation and
configuration process.
