Assigning the Encryption Key to a Partition

December 2008

Spectra T950 Library

1. From the Chambers and Drives screen in the partition configuration 

sequence, select Next. The Encryption screen displays.

Note:

If the partition can support encryption, the available encryption 
choices depend on the hardware assigned to the partition. 

Note:

The encryption performed by encryption-enabled LTO-4 tape 
drives is not compatible with the encryption performed by an 
encryption-enabled F-QIP. 

If an encryption-enabled F-QIP and an encryption-capable 
LTO-4 drive are in the same partition, you must choose one type 
of encryption or the other. You cannot use both types in the same 
partition.

2. Select select QIP-based Encryption. 

3. To reserve a portion of the media at the beginning tape for unencrypted 

data, select Enable Clear File at BOT. 

If you choose this option, the tape headers are unencrypted so that any 
compatible drive can read the header information on an encrypted 
tape. Using unencrypted headers is a useful option for sites with a large 
number of tapes to manage.

4. Navigate through the remaining partition configuration screens by 

selecting Next.

5. When you reach the Save Partition screen, select Save and proceed as 

described in
