3. Export at least one copy of the key and store it in a safe location (see 

).

4. Select Delete Key and respond to the confirmation screens to delete the 

key.

5. The Encryption Configuration screen redisplays, without the moniker 

for the key you deleted listed.

LTO-4 drives require that all data encrypted and written to a single tape 
use the same encryption key—that is, a single key is associated with all the 
encrypted data on an individual tape. After encrypted data is written to a 
tape, the drive will not overwrite the data using a different encryption key 
until you recycle the tape through BlueScale Encryption. If you lose the 
encryption key for a tape, you must recycle the tape before you can re-use it.

Note:

If you plan to use the same key that was used to encrypt the data 
already on the tape, you do not need to recycle the tape using the 
process described in this section.

Note:

Make sure that the backup software cannot access the drive you 
plan to use for recycling the media during the recycling 
operation.

Note:

The recycle media operation can only be performed using the 
touch screen (or using a keyboard and mouse connected to the 
LCM). You cannot access the Import/Export TeraPack Cases 
screen when using a remote connection to the library.

Use the following steps to recycle one or more encrypted LTO cartridges so 
that they can be reused with a new encryption key.

1. From the toolbar menu, select General > Import/Export. The Import/

Export TeraPacks screen displays.
