After your key servers are installed and running, follow these steps, in
order, to configure the library:
Upgrade your library and tape drive firmware to the latest released
versions.
• The minimum library firmware version required for SKM is i2.
• The minimum library firmware version required for KMIP is i4.
If your EKM license key is not already installed on the library, install it
now (see Adding or Upgrading Licensable Features
For each partition on which you want to enable Library Managed
Encryption, do the following:
1 Make sure the partition contains encryption-supported and
encryption-capable tape drives and media. Note the following:
• SKM partitions must contain only LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6, and/or
LTO-7 tape drives, as applicable. SKM media must have valid
barcode labels affixed. SKM does not support the use of
unlabeled media.
• KMIP partitions must contain only LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6, and/or
LTO-7 tape drives, as applicable.
2 Unload tape cartridges from all tape drives in the partitions on
which you are configuring EKM.
Make sure to complete the above steps before proceeding.
