HP StoreEver 1/8 G2 & MSL Encryption Kit
The encryption kit provides secure generation and storage of encryption keys. The encryption kit
may be used with any HP StoreEver 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader or the MSL2024, MSL4048,
MSL8048 and MSL8096 Tape Libraries with at least one LTO-4 or later generation tape drive.
The encryption kit cannot be used with the MSL6000.
The encryption kit includes two USB key server tokens. One key server token is available for use
as backup for the other.
To use the encryption kit, a key server token is inserted in the USB port on the back of the autoloader,
and encryption is enabled and configured from the RMI.
The encryption kit supports your manual security policies and procedures by providing secure
storage for encryption keys. Access to the key server tokens and their backup files is protected with
user-specified passwords. You will need to create processes to protect the tokens and secure the
passwords.
IMPORTANT: When encryption is enabled with the encryption kit, the autoloader will not use
encryption keys from other sources, such as a key management system or application software.
Disable encryption in applications writing to the autoloader when encryption is enabled with the
Encryption Kit. Applications that attempt to control encryption while encryption is enabled with the
encryption kit will not be able to do so, which can cause backups or other write operations to fail.
Command View TL TapeAssure
HP Command View TL software provides a browser-based GUI for remote management and
monitoring of most HP libraries through a LAN. With Command View TL, you can view and analyze
the performance and health of the LTO-4, LTO-5, and LTO-6 tape drives and media in multiple HP
MSL2024, MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 Tape Libraries and 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloaders
at the same time. In addition, the information shown in TapeAssure is more extensive than that
shown in the RMI.
Command View TL software is installed on a management station. The management station can
also be used to manage HP EML and ESL Tape Libraries. For best performance, the management
station should be in the same physical location and on the same IP subnet as the autoloader.
Command View TL software is available for download without charge from the HP website at
http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl.
For information on installing and using Command View TL, see the HP Interface Manager and
Command View TL User Guide, available from the HP website at http://www.hp.com/support/
cvtl.
Command View TL support is included in all autoloader firmware that supports LTO-5 and later
generation tape drives. To find and download the most up-to-date firmware revision, visit the HP
