Configuring Scalar Key Manager (SKM) on the Library
180 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Step 2: Install the EKM
License Key on the
Library
If your EKM license key is not already installed on the library, install it
now (see
Adding or Upgrading Licensable Features on page 68).
Step 3: Prepare
Partitions for Library
Managed Encryption
For each partition on which you want to enable Library Managed
Encryption, do the following:
1 Make sure the partition contains encryption-supported and
encryption-capable tape drives and media. Note the following:
• SKM partitions must contain only LTO-4, LTO-5, and/or LTO-6
tape drives. SKM media must have valid barcode labels affixed.
SKM does not support the use of unlabeled media.
• KMIP partitions must contain only LTO-4, LTO-5, and/or LTO-6
tape drives.
2 Unload tape cartridges from all tape drives in the partitions on
which you are configuring EKM.
Step 4: Configure
Encryption Settings and
Key Server Addresses
Make sure to complete the above steps before proceeding.
Note: You cannot edit the encryption system configuration settings
when any partition is enabled for Library Managed Encryption.
If this happens, go to Setup > Encryption > Partition
Configuration, change all EKM partition settings from LME
enabled to LME disabled. Then make your changes to the
system configuration settings. Finally, go back and change all
the EKM partition settings to LME enabled.
1 From the Web client, select Setup > Encryption > System
Configuration (see
Figure 31).
