Encryption Key Import

Warning Log

This log lists the tape cartridges for which encryption keys failed the

most recent encryption key import operation. If you have only partial

success when importing a file of encryption keys (meaning, some keys

import successfully but some keys do not), the library displays an

“import warning” message and generates a diagnostic ticket that

directs you to view this log to see which keys did not get imported.

For each key that failed the import, the log provides a message type that

is either:

• Error — The key could not be imported.

• Warning — The key was imported, but the metadata update failed.

For each key that failed the import, the log provides one of the

following message descriptions:

• CRC Data Missing — Error. Metadata is missing for the key. This

means that the export file is corrupt. Suggested Solution: Export

the key(s) for the listed tape cartridge(s) again, and then perform

the import operation again.

• CRC Check Failed — Error. The CRC data does not match the key or

key metadata. The export file is corrupt. Suggested solution: Try to

import the same file again. If this fails, export the key(s) for the

listed tape cartridge(s) again, and then perform the import

operation again.

• Import To Primary/Secondary Server Failed — Error. The key

import to the stated server failed (probably due to a network or

other connection issue). If the key failed to import to the secondary

server, it may have been imported successfully to the primary server.

Suggested solution:

Check network connections and perform the

import operation again.

• Key Metadata Update Failed (but key data was imported

successfully)

— Warning. The key was imported, but the metadata

update failed. You can access the key, but you cannot export it until

it is actually used in an encryption operation on the library.

Suggested solution: Use the key to read (decrypt) a tape. This

marks the key as “used” and updates the metadata, which will allow

you to export the key.

This log is only available if you are running SKM and have encryption key

management licensed on the library (see

Adding or Upgrading

Licensable Features on page 68).
