EKM Management Solutions
The Scalar i6000 supports two encryption key management solutions:
• Quantum Encryption Key Manager (Q-EKM) - For IBM LTO-4 Fibre
Channel
tape drives, IBM LTO-4 SAS tape drives, and IBM LTO-5
Fibre Channel tape drives; and LTO-4 and LTO-5 tape cartridges
only.
• Scalar Key Manager (SKM) - For HP LTO-4
and HP LTO-5 Fibre
Channel and SAS tape drives and LTO-4 and LTO-5 tape cartridges
only. For more information, refer to
Running MeDIA Test Reports on
page 487
These two key management solutions are not
interoperable. The Scalar library does not support
using both Q-EKM and SKM in the same partition.
The encryption key management solutions generate, protect, store, and
manage encryption keys. These keys are used by their respective tape
drives to encrypt information being written to, and decrypt information
being read from, tape media. Q-EKM and SKM are installed on a server.
