The Encryption Configuration
screen displays, showing the
key moniker, its creation time
and date, and a message
reminding you to create a copy
of the key for safekeeping. If
the key is lost, data cannot be
recovered, so promptly copying
the key and storing it safely
(that is, away from the data
encrypted using the key) is
extremely important to data
decryption and recovery.
Because the key, identified by its moniker, isn’t yet assigned to a partition—that is,
used by a partition to encrypt data—None is listed in the Primary Key For column.
Also, because BlueScale Standard Edition only supports using one key, the
Import
Key
and
Add Key
selections no longer display. If you delete the key, they display
again.
Important Notes on Creating Passwords and Monikers
• Each moniker must be a unique string of characters, independent of case.
• Monikers entered with the same name but with alphabetical characters in different
cases may display as entered using upper and lower case. However, they are
recognized as a single key—that is, Key1, key1, and KEY1 are seen as a single key.
•
Do not re-use a moniker
. If you use a moniker for a key, later delete the key, then
create a new key using the same moniker, then attempt to restore data from the first
tape using the first moniker, the library would use the wrong encryption key and the
data would not be recoverable.
