Chapter 7: Encryption Key Management
Configuring Scalar Key Manager (SKM) on the Library
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 179
regardless of whether a new key or previously used key is applied, a
single key is still associated with each tape cartridge and quarantine
procedures can be applied to just that single key. In the example above,
the same 10 encryption keys can be used to encrypt the same 10 tapes
for the lifetime of each tape.
Configuring Scalar Key Manager (SKM) on the Library
Make sure your SKM or KMIP-compliant key servers are installed and
running before configuring the library (see the
Scalar Key Manager
User's Guide
, or your KMIP key manager user's guide for instructions).
Notes on SKM
Scalar Key Manager is very sensitive to network instability due to the
large amount of operations occurring in rapid succession. If you get
an error stating that an SKM operation failed, check network
functionality and try the operation again.
Make sure ports 80, 6000, and 6001 on the SKM servers are opened
up in a bi-directional mode on all firewalls in your network. If they
are not, the library will not be able to communicate with the SKM
servers.
After your key servers are installed and running, follow these steps, in
order, to configure the library:
Step 1: Upgrade
Firmware
Upgrade your library and tape drive firmware to the latest released
versions.
The minimum library firmware version required for SKM is i2.
The minimum library firmware version required for KMIP is i4.
