-label pool_label | -num pool_num

Specifies the tape pool volume label or alternately the tape pool ID. This is a
user-defined identifier, which must be unique within the encryption group and
should match the tape pool label or ID that is configured on the tape backup
application. The tape pool label can consist of any combination of characters.
When using white space, you must enclose the tape pool label in double
quotation marks. The maximum size is 64 bytes. This operand is required.

-encryption_format

Optionally specifies the tape encryption format. Two encryption formats are
supported for tape pools:

native

Data is encrypted or decrypted using the Brocade native encryption
format (metadata format and algorithm). This is the default setting.

DF_compatible Data is encrypted or decrypted using the NetApp DataFort encryption

format (metadata format and algorithm). Use of this format requires a
NetApp DataFort-compatible license on the encryption switch or on the
chassis that houses the encryption blade.

-encrypt | -cleartext

Enables encryption or cleartext (no encryption). By default, cleartext is
enabled.

-key_lifespan time_in_days | none

Specifies the lifespan of the encryption key in days. The key expires after the
specified number of days. The default value is none, which means the key
does not expire until the value is set. This parameter cannot be modified for
tape pools once it is set.

--

delete -tapepool

Deletes the specified tape pool. This command is valid only on the group
leader. The following operand is required:

-label pool_label | -num pool_num

Specifies the tape pool by volume label or tape pool ID. Use --show
-tapepool for a listing of configured tape pools and their respective labels or
IDs.

--

modify -tapepool

Modifies the encryption policies of a specified tape pool. This command is
valid only on the group leader. The following operand is required:

-label pool_label | -num pool_num

Specifies the tape pool by volume label or tape pool ID. Use --show
-tapepool for a listing of configured tape pools and their respective labels or
IDs. To modify the label or pool number, you must delete and recreate the
tape pool.

You may optionally modify the following tape policy parameters.

[-encryption_format native | DF_compatible]

[-encrypt | -cleartext]

Refer to cryptocfg --create -tapepool for descriptions of these parameters. Exercise caution
when modifying tape pool policy parameters while tape sessions are in progress. Refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for more information.
