Chapter 8 Library Managed Encryption
Configuring the Dell Encryption Key Manager (EKM) on the Library
Dell PowerVault ML6000 User’s Guide 153
2 For each partition on which you are configuring Dell EKM, change
the Encryption Method to
Enable Library Managed
. (To disable EKM,
select Allow Application Managed).
Application Managed
Not for use with EKM.
Allows an external
backup application to provide encryption
support to all encryption-capable tape drives
and media within the partition. The library
will NOT communicate with the Dell EKM key
server on this partition.
This is the default setting if you have
encryption-capable tape drives in the
partition. This option should remain selected
unless you want the EKM server to manage
encryption.
Note:
If you want an application to manage
encryption, you must specifically configure
the application to do so. The library will not
participate in performing this type of
encryption.
None Disables encryption on the partition.
Unsupported Means that no tape drives in the partition
support encryption.
If
Unsupported
is shown, it will be greyed out
and you will not be able to change the
setting.
Note:
When you change the encryption method on a partition,
the partition is taken offline. When the change completes
successfully, the partition comes back online
automatically. If the operation does not complete
successfully, the partition remains offline until you turn it
back online manually or restart the library.
