Importing Secured Tape Cartridges
If you need to import tape cartridges into your library which have been secured with a key from another PX500 Series library, you need to import the Secure Key before the library can read or write to the tape cartridges.
To import secured tapes:
1Write down the barcodes for every secured tape that will be imported into the library. You will need to have these barcodes available when associating the tape cartridges with the Secure Key.
2Insert the tape cartridges into the PX500 Series library (refer to the PX500 Series User’s Guide (PN
3On the PX500 Series library where the tape cartridges were originally secured with a key, backup the specific Secure Key associated with those tape cartridges (see Backup Secure Key File).
4Upload the Secure Key from the original library to the where the tape cartridges were imported (see Upload Secure Key File).
5Assign the barcode labels from the imported tape cartridges with the Secure Key from the original library (see Assign Secure Key to Cartridge).
The imported tape cartridges are now associated with the Secure Key.
Secure Key Maintenance
Quantum strongly recommends that you backup your secure keys whenever a new key is added (see Backup Secure Key File). The location of these keys should be available to library administrators who need access to secured tape cartridges.
CAUTION: If the Secure Key information is lost, any tape cartridges that were secured with the lost key will be unavailable for reading or writing.
