CHAPTER 2

Dione Card

The Dione card—pronounced (D - O - nee)—is a custom design that provides an Ethernet interface for the HP LTO4 tape drive. With this interface, the HP LTO4 tape drive can:

Encrypt and decrypt data using the Sun StorageTek Crypto Key Management System (KMS), Version 2.0 and above

Configure and enroll the tape drive using the Virtual Operator Panel (VOP), Version 1.0.12 or higher

Basically, the Dione card is a translation device between the serial interface on the tape drive and the secure Ethernet port for use with the KMS.

The Dione card includes:

Telnet server for configuration and management

FTP server for installing new firmware and retrieving firmware trace logs

SOAP client (with TLS 1.0 support) for communication with the KMS
