Using Secure Keys
When you load a cartridge in the tape drive, the
Lock
icon on the
Tape Security
tab shows
you the status of the cartridge (no security, locked, or unlocked).
Use the buttons on the
Tape Security
tab to add, change, or remove a Secure Key, or to
unlock a protected cartridge.
The Secure Key is case-sensitive and may be any combination of letters, numbers, special
characters, or hex bytes. It must be at least 8 characters/bytes and no more than 32
characters/bytes in length.
When you add a Secure Key, change a Secure Key, or unlock a cartridge, the following
things occur:
• The Secure Key on both the media and the tape drive is reset to the last Secure Key
entered.
• Auto Unlock is reset to ON, regardless of whether it was on or off to begin with.
Note:
The tape drive remembers only ONE Secure Key: the last one entered (whether
it be from adding, unlocking, changing, or removing a Secure Key).
