Impact of tape pool configuration changes

Tape pool-level policies overrule policy configurations at the LUN level, when no policies are
configured at the tape pool level. The following restrictions apply when modifying tape pool-level
configuration parameters:

Use cryptocfg show tapepool

FabricAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --delete -tapepool -label my_tapepool
Operation succeeded.
FabricAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --commit
Operation succeeded.
modify

Then specify a new policy, encryption format, or both. The following example changes the
encryption format from Brocade native to DF-compatible.
FabricAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --modify -tapepool -label my_tapepool
-encryption_format DF_compatible
Operation succeeded.
FabricAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --commit
Operation succeeded.
If you change the tape pool policy from encrypt to cleartext or from cleartext to encrypt while
data is written to or read from a tape backup device, the policy change is not enforced until the
current process completes and the tape is unmounted, rewound, or overwritten. This
mechanism prevents the mixing of cleartext data to cipher-text data on the tape.
You cannot modify the tape pool label or the key lifespan value. If you wish to modify these
tape pool attributes, delete the tape pool and create a new tape pool with a different label and
key lifespan.
