HP StoreEver ESL G3 Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 74)

Using the Secure Manager Configuration Wizard
Secure Manager provides an additional level of security that allows you to control access to the tape
library by authorizing specific servers to access the library's drives and robotics. Secure Manager
increases backup reliability by blocking disruptive traffic from unauthorized hosts to the library, which
is one of the main causes of failed or incomplete backups.
Secure Manager has three modes of operation:
1. Disabled: All hosts have access to all drives and robotics in the library. Switch-based SAN zoning
must be used to control access.
2. Enabled, Basic: If a Secure Manager license key is not installed, only Basic mode is offered. In
this mode, a single access group can be created. Hosts added to the access group have access
to all drives and robotics in the library. Hosts that are not added to the access group cannot access
drives or robotics in the library.
3. Enabled, Advanced/Licensed: When a Secure Manager license is purchased (per library) and
the license key is installed, many access groups can be created. Different sets of hosts and drives
can be added to different access groups, providing the highest level of granularity and access
control.
The Secure Manager Configuration Wizard guides you through all access control configuration steps:
Host Configuration, Access Group Configuration, and Host Access Configuration.
To enable or disable secure manager, perform the following:
1. Select Setup > Secure Manager to display the Secure Manager Configuration Wizard.
