Upload Secure Key File

Refer to figure 11 for information on Upload Secure Key File.

Figure 11 Upload Secure Key File

A file containing a list of Secure Key Name/Secure Key Pairs can be restored to the library.

NOTE: The Encryption Key of the library originally maintaining the list is required to restore the file.

To upload (restore) a Secure Key File:

1Enter the Encryption Key of the original library.

2Enter the path and file name of the file to be uploaded (click Browse...)

3Click Upload button.

A progress window is displayed indicating when the upload is complete or if any errors occurred during the upload or restoration of the file.

The Secure Key page is refreshed listing restored secure keys.

NOTE: An error is displayed if the serial number provided does not match the serial number used to encode the secure keys.

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 81-81290) for information on inserting tape cartridges.

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.
