HP StorageWorks 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 StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader or the MSL2024, MSL4048, MSL8048
and MSL8096 Tape Library 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 StorageWorks 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 and LTO-5 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 can also be used
to manage HP StorageWorks 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
support/cvtl.
For information on installing and using Command View TL, see the HP StorageWorks Interface Manager
and Command View TL User Guide, available from the HP website at
cvtl.
Command View TL support is included in all Autoloader firmware that supports LTO-5 tape drives. To
find and download the most up-to-date firmware revision, visit the HP website at
support.
