Dell PowerVault TL2000 Installation and operating instructions

Dell™ PowerVault™ TL2000/TL4000
Library-Managed Encryption
Enablement Instructions
NOTE: The library must be offline from any user and all media must be removed from
the drives before license keys are installed or any configuration modifications are made. Please
refer to the Dell PowerVault TL2000/TL4000 User's Guide for instructions to take the library
offline and to eject media from the drives.
NOTICE: To prevent possible data loss due to an EKM server failure, Dell recommends
the use of a primary and secondary EKM server. This configuration provides redundancy in
the event the primary EKM server is down or unavailable. Please refer to Chapter 2 (Multiple
Key Managers for Redundancy) of the Dell Encryption Key Manager User's Guide and to the
Configure Library Encryption section (Chapter 4.0) of the Dell PowerVault TL2000/TL4000
User's Guide for information on configuring a primary and secondary EKM for your library.
NOTE: If the backup job fails due to an EKM server failure, the job will recover if connectivity is
restored to the EKM server prior to expiration of the timeout set in the tape backup software
application
Enabling library-managed encryption on your library is a 6 step process:
1Upgrade the library and drive firmware to the latest versions. The firmware
can be found at http://support.dell.com.
2Enable library-managed encryption on the library via the license key if not
already licensed. Please refer to Figure 4-23 in the Dell PowerVault
TL2000/TL4000 User's Guide for activation instructions. The User's Guide can
be found at http://support.dell.com.
If you purchased library-managed encryption at the time you purchased your
library, a hard copy of the license key is provided with your library as a backup.
