Chapter 12 – Configuring and Using Encryption

105

After creating an encryption key, you can assign it to one or more library partitions. If 
a partition can support encryption, the encryption choices that display and are 
available depend on the hardware assigned to the partition. Possible choices are:

ƒ No encryption
ƒ QIP-based encryption
ƒ LTO-4 drive-based encryption

Follow these steps to assign a key to a partition and encrypt all data sent to the 
partition:

1. Log in as a superuser, then select Security > Encryption. The Encryption User Login 

screen displays. 

2. Enter the encryption password, then select OK. 

3. Select Configuration > Partitions. The Shared Library Services screen displays.

4. Select New to add a partition, or select Edit to modify the settings for an existing 

partition.

5. Navigate through the partition configuration screens by selecting Next until the 

Encryption screen displays. 

The Encryption screen lets you enable encryption features for the partition. It only 
displays if you are logged into the encryption application and have already created 
an encryption key as described in Create an Encryption Key on page 103.

Depending on whether you want to use an encryption-enabled F-QIP or a 
encryption-capable tape drive to perform the data encryption, select the desired 
encryption settings as described in the following sections.

ƒ Enable Encryption Using an F-QIP
ƒ Enable Encryption Using Direct-Attach Drives on page 107

Caution

When using LTO-4 drive-based encryption, make sure that the 
moniker you choose when creating the BlueScale encryption 
key contains no more than 32 characters. If you lose an 
encryption key that has a moniker greater than 32 characters, 
data cannot be recovered using Spectra Logic’s optional 
Encryption/Decryption Utility (EDU).
