• Label — the bar code label data for the tape in the slot.
• Media Loads — the number of times this tape has been loaded into a drive in its lifetime. This field might
be blank if the tape has not been loaded into a drive in this device or if the inventory has changed.
• Comment — any additional information about the tape in the slot (for example, Clean Tape if the cartridge
is a cleaning tape).

When using the encryption kit, you can see, but not modify the following:
• Drive Encryption Status — The encryption status for the drive, including whether the drive is configured for
encryption or not, and whether a requested encryption key has been received.
• Key Server Token Status — The status for the key server token. The status might indicate that some keys
might not be backed up, even though none of the individual keys show a status of backup required. In this
case, the firmware has detected the presence of keys that have not been backed up, but cannot uniquely
identify them. Always back up the keys on the token when the key server token status indicates that a
backup is required.
CAUTION:
If the token is lost or damaged and the encryption keys are not backed up, no one can recover
encrypted data from tapes encrypted with the lost encryption keys, including customer service.
• Serial Number — Serial number of the key server token.
• Firmware Version — Version of firmware on the key server token. The firmware cannot be updated but a
service engineer might request the version when diagnosing an issue.
• Token Name — The name of the token. The name can be changed on the
Configuration > Security
screen.
• Number of Keys — The number of keys currently stored on the token. The token can hold up to 100 keys.

. The RMI displays a list of
information about each key, including the creation date and time. For security reasons, the encryption keys
are not displayed. The key identified as the
current key
is the key currently used to encrypt data on all new
and formatted tapes in the library that are enabled for encryption using the encryption kit.
When KMIP is enabled, you can see, but not modify, the following:
