Changing library partitions after initial SKM or ESKM setup

When you add or remove partitions in a library that is enrolled with the SKM or ESKM, you must
also add or remove the key generation policy for that partition using the SKM or ESKM Management
Console software. (For instructions, see the SKM or ESKM user guide.) Until this policy is updated,
the key management status for the tape drives in the affected partition will appear as critical (red)
on the Health Summary screen. After you update this policy, it is applied the next time media is
loaded into the tape drive, which will clear the critical status. Only the security user can change
this policy (see

(page 22)

and

Changing library passwords (page 34)

).
