Enable Library Managed
— Enables library managed encryption support via a connected key
manager server for all tape drives and encryption-capable media assigned to the partition. This is the
method you want to use for library communication with SafeNet KeySecures.
Details and restrictions for using library managed encryption include:
-
Only LTO-4 and LTO-5 tape cartridges will be encrypted in library managed encryption partitions,
unless they contain unencrypted data already, and data is appended. The partition may contain LTO-
2 and LTO-3 tape cartridges, but they will not be encrypted.
-
Encrypted data will never be appended to unencrypted data on tape, and unencrypted data will
never be appended to encrypted data on tape.
-
For data to be encrypted via library managed encryption, the media must be blank or have been
written to using library 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.
Changing the Encryption Method
1
If you are not already viewing the physical library, click
View
and select the name of the physical
library.
2
Click
Setup > Encryption > Partition Configuration
.
The
EKM Partition Configuration
dialog box appears. Each partition’s current encryption method is
listed under Encryption Method.
3
Make sure that the tape drives in the partition do not have cartridges loaded. If there are cartridges in
the tape drives, you cannot change the encryption method.
