User Guide Updates

Encryption is handled either through the F-QIPs in the library or through LTO-4 drives. 
Configuring encryption and managing encryption keys are handled through the 
library’s user interface. Encryption configuration entails selecting an encryption mode 
and creating an encryption password. The encryption password enables you to access 
the encryption features.

Before you begin, make sure that you have the appropriate library hardware installed. 
Each partition that will use encryption requires the following:

ƒ A QIP that supports encryption (such as the G3 or G5 F-QIP). Use this 

configuration to encrypt data with non-encryption capable drives. Load the media 
type corresponding to the drives assigned to the partition.

– or –

ƒ Encryption-capable LTO-4 tape drives. Use direct-attach, encryption-capable Fibre 

Channel or SCSI LTO-4 drives. LTO-4 media must loaded in the partition.

Tracking key 
monikers and 
passwords

On a non-networked computer that supports encryption, create one or 
more charts or lists with this data, including key moniker, dates used, 
encryption and superuser passwords, and password used to encrypt 
exported key. (Because BlueScale prompts for the required encryption 
key moniker when restoring encrypted data, this company chose not to 
track monikers and their relationship to media.)

Multiple 
encryption teams 
(optional)

Deemed unnecessary given the users already identified as those 
responsible for encryption.

Schedule and run 
drills

Formalized approach deemed unnecessary. Instead, incorporate review 
of data decryption into standard six-month check to make sure that 
backups and restores are working properly. This now includes a test 
involving data decryption.

Passwords

ƒ Password to access encryption features: minimum of 12 characters,

including at least one number and one letter.

ƒ Password to export and import encryption keys: minimum of 30 

characters, including at least one number and one letter.
