6. Select the Encryption Mode.
Choices include Clear Text, DF-Compatible Encryption, and Native Encryption. DF-Compatible
Encryption is valid only when LKM is the key vault. The Key Lifespan (days) field is editable only
if the tape pool is encrypted. If Clear Text is selected as the encryption mode, the key lifespan
is disabled.
NOTE
You cannot change the encryption mode after the tape pool I/O begins.
7. Enter the number of days that you want to use a key before obtaining a new key, if you want to
enforce a key lifespan. The default is Infinite (a blank field or a value of 0).
NOTE
The key lifespan interval represents the key expiry timeout period for tapes or tape pools. You
can only enter the Key Lifespan field if the tape pool is encrypted. If Clear Text is selected as
the encryption mode, the Key Lifespan field is disabled.
8. Click OK.
Encryption Targets dialog box
The Encryption Targets dialog box enables you to send outbound data that you want to store as
ciphertext to an encryption device. The encryption target acts as a virtual target when receiving
data from a host, and as a virtual initiator when writing the encrypted data to storage.
To access the Encryption Targets dialog box, complete the following steps.
1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu bar.
The Encryption Center dialog box displays, showing the status of all encryption-related
hardware and functions.
2. Select the Group >Targets, Switch > Targets, or Engine > Targets, from the tool bar menu, or
right-click on the group, switch, or encryption engine in the Encryption Devices table, and
select Targets.
The Encryption Targets dialog box (Figure 195) displays the targets currently being encrypted
by the selected group, switch, or encryption engine. If a group is selected, all configured targets
in the group are displayed. If a switch is selected, all configured targets for the switch are
displayed.
The Encryption Targets dialog box enables you to launch a variety of wizards and other related
dialog boxes, which are defined in Table 27.
