HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager pre-installation survey and checklists (AJ087-96009, May 2008)

Planning step: For each ETLA library, define a client account username and password. Passwords must
not be a dictionary word, must be 8 characters, must contain both alpha and numeric characters, and
must begin with a letter. Passwords are case-sensitive and can include special characters.
Enrolling the ETLA libraries with the SKM
Each of the ETLA libraries selected for encryption must be confi gured to use the SKM. This step consists of
installing digital certificates and configuring the library with the IP addresses of the SKM appliances.
The SKM installation will only include enrollment for the specific libraries in the installation scope of work.
The SKM installation does not include configuring the ETLA libraries for backups, connecting them to the
SAN, partitioning them, or updating their firmware to support configuring the library for backups.
Planning step: Ensure the ETLA libraries to be enrolled with the SKM have the latest firmware updates,
are partitioned (if necessary), and are operational for your backup requirements.
