Select the Encryption Mode
Depending on the version of BlueScale software, the Encryption screen
does not display, or displays with all options grayed out, unless you are
logged into the library as an encryption user and either created one or
more BlueScale encryption keys, or configured a Spectra SKLM server.
Note: If you are not logged into the encryption feature, or did not
create a BlueScale encryption key or configure a Spectra SKLM
server, proceed to Configure the Drive Fibre Channel
Addressing on page 202. You can modify the partition to use
encryption later, as described in this section.
Requirements If you created a BlueScale encryption key, you can enable
BlueScale Encryption for the partition and assign an encryption key to it.
 If the storage partition uses LTO-5 or later generation drives or TS11xx
technology drives and you configured a Spectra SKLM server, you can
enable Spectra SKLM encryption key management for the partition.
Notes:  See the Spectra Tape Libraries Encryption User Guide for
detailed instructions about configuring and using encryption
in the library.
 Any options that are not supported for the partition you are
currently configuring are grayed out.
 You can only use one type of encryption in a partition.
 If the partition does not contain any F-QIPs, you must use
drive-based encryption.
 If the partition uses F-QIP-attached SCSI drives, you must
use QIP-based encryption.
 Spectra SKLM encryption is not compatible with PostScan.
Do not enable PostScan for the partition if you want to use
Spectra SKLM encryption.
 Spectra SKLM key management and BlueScale encryption
are not compatible with each other. Data encrypted using one
type of encryption key management cannot be decrypted
using the other.
 BlueScale Encryption is not supported for partitions with
TS11xx technology drives.
 The encryption performed by encryption-enabled drives is
not compatible with the encryption performed by an
encryption-enabled F-QIP.
Important
To use Spectra SKLM encryption key management with your library, all LTO-5 drives
in the encrypted partition must use firmware version C7RC or later. LTO-6 and later
drives, and TS11xx technology drives can use any firmware supported by the library.
