Setting the Master Key

This section provides the procedure for setting a master key in the tape library to use the key management
function.
If a master key is already set, the old master key is overwritten with a new master key. Data that was
encrypted using the old master key cannot be read. Back up the old master key in advance so that the master
key can be changed back to the old master key to read the data as required. In addition, by exporting and
importing the encryption key for the required data cartridge, changing back the master key is not required
even if the master key is changed. For details about backing up the master key, refer to
