Importing Secured Tape Cartridges
0
If you need to import tape cartridges into your library which
have been secured with a key from another PX500 Series
library, you need to import the Secure Key before the library
can read or write to the tape cartridges.
To import secured tapes:
1 Write down the barcodes for every secured tape that
will be imported into the library. You will need to have
these barcodes available when associating the tape
cartridges with the Secure Key.
2 Insert the tape cartridges into the PX500 Series library
(refer to the PX500 Series User’s Guide (PN 81-81290)
for information on inserting tape cartridges.
3 On the PX500 Series library where the tape cartridges
were originally secured with a key, backup the specific
Secure Key associated with those tape cartridges (see
Backup Secure Key File ).
4 Upload the Secure Key from the original library to the
where the tape cartridges were imported (see Upload
Secure Key File ).
5 Assign the barcode labels from the imported tape
cartridges with the Secure Key from the original library
(see
Assign Secure Key to Cartridge ).
The imported tape cartridges are now associated with
the Secure Key.
Secure Key Maintenance
0
Quantum strongly recommends that you backup your secure
keys whenever a new key is added (see
Backup Secure Key
File ). The location of these keys should be available to library
administrators who need access to secured tape cartridges.
C AUTION : If the Secure Key information is lost, any
tape cartridges that were secured with the
lost key will be unavailable for reading or
writing.
