The log file is cleared and created new for each import operation so that
it shows only the key corruptions and import failures that occurred
during the latest encryption key import attempt.
For more information about library logs, see SKM Encryption Key Import
Warning Log (with EKM License) on page 229.
The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the Web client, select Reports > Log Viewer.
Viewing Audit Logs The EKM Audit Log reports the status of tape cartridges and partitions
in the library. The EKM audit log captures historical encryption key
management configuration data with respect to any logical library
partition, listing events for encryption method changes for every logical
library partition. Upon partition creation, modification, and deletion,
the encryption method is also captured to have complete records as to
when a partition was created, when the encryption method was
modified, and when a partition and its respective encryption method
was deleted.
The EKM Partition Method Activity section of the log shows when
actions are performed that change a partition's encryption state, and
which user performed the action. This section provides the following
specific information:
• Timestamp: date and time of any partition change operations
• Partition Name: name of the partition
• EKM Method: indicator of whether encryption was turned on or off
at creation, deletion, or during modification
• User: login ID of the person who made the change
The Media Encryption Status section of the log displays the most
recent encryption status for a given piece of media. This section
provides the following specific information:
• Timestamp: date and time of any dismount operations which
captured the encryption status
• Barcode: barcode label information
• Medium Serial Number: tape cartridge serial number
• Drive Serial Number: serial number of drive that determined the
tape cartridge encryption status
