Configuring Encryption

December 2008

Spectra T950 Library

1. From the Encryption Configuration screen, select Configure. The 

Encryption Settings screen displays. 

Note:

If the partition does not include either an encryption-enabled 
F-QIP or encryption-enabled LTO drives, you will not see the 
Encryption screen described in this section.

2. Select the initialization mode you want to use: 

ƒ Standard Mode – When the library is powered on during startup, 

data can be backed up to partitions that support encryption without 
entering an encryption password. To use Standard Mode, make sure 
that Enable Secure Initialization is not selected.

ƒ Secure Initialization Mode – When the library is powered on 

during startup, partitions dedicated to encryption are not available, 
so backups sent to them cannot run. To initialize the encryption 
partitions, someone must log in as a superuser, then enter the 
encryption password. To use Secure Initialization Mode, select 
Enable Secure Initialization.

3. In the New Encryption User Password field, type in a password, using 

any combination of the numbers 0–9, lower and upper case alphabetic 
characters (a–z and A–Z), and the at sign (@), dash (–), underscore (_), 
and colon (:) characters.

Note:

Security is greatly enhanced when the user who knows the 
encryption password is different from the one logging into the 
system during normal operations.

4. Re-enter the password in the Retype Password field, then select OK. The 

Encryption Configuration screen again displays.

5. Proceed to
