CAUTION:
The library must be offline from any user and all media must be
removed from the drives before license keys are installed or any
configuration modifications are made. Please refer to “Power ON/OFF”
on page 2-4 and “Removing Cartridges from Magazine Slots” on page
9-1 for instructions to take the library offline and to eject media from
the drives.
To prevent possible data loss due to a key management server failure, Dell
recommends the use of a primary and secondary key management server. This
configuration provides redundancy in the event the primary key management
server is down or unavailable. Please refer to
IBM SKLM Knowledge Center online
at for information on configuring a primary and secondary key management server
for your library.
If the backup job fails due to a key management server failure, the job recovers
if connectivity is restored to the key management server prior to expiration of
the timeout set in the tape backup software application.
Enabling library-managed encryption on a PowerVault TL2000 or TL4000 is a 6
step process.

can be found at
2.
Enable library-managed encryption on the library via the license key if not
already licensed. Please refer to “Configure Library: Encryption” on page 5-46
for activation instructions.
If you purchased library-managed encryption at the time you purchased your
library, a hard copy of the license key is provided with your library as a
backup. If there are any issues with the license key for library-managed
encryption purchased with the library, please visit to obtain your license key. You will need the library serial
number and worldwide node name to obtain the license key. Please refer to the
following tables in this document for instructions on locating this information:

Table 5.6 for library worldwide node name
If this does not resolve your issue, please contact Dell technical support.
