6. Specify the Tape Pool Label Type. Tape pools can be identified by either a name or a number,
shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15.
7. Enter a name for the tape pool. If you selected Number as the Tape Pool Label Type, the name
must match the tape pool label or tape ID/number that is configured on the tape
backup/restore application.
8. Select the Encryption Mode.
Choices include Clear Text, DF-Compatible Encryption, and Native Encryption. 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.
9. 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 is equivalent to
Infinite).
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.
10. Click OK.
