LME: ILEP Key Label Mapping
The LME: ILEP Key Label Mapping window is used to setup the ILEP (Internal
Label Encryption Policy) Key Label maps for the Library Manager.
ILEP uses a pool number written on the internal tape label to determine if a tape
volume is to be encrypted. The tape is assigned to a pool and the pool number is
written to the internal label. When a tape is loaded, the internal label is read to see
if this tape is eligible for ILEP encryption. If it is, the drive sends the Library
Manager the pool numbers made up into key labels. A maximum of 64 key label
maps can be defined.
Note: You can also view or change the LME: ILEP key label mapping from the
3494 Tape Library Specialist. Select Administer Library Manager, Manage
Encryption, then select ILEP Key Label Mapping from the menu. (See
"Specialist Features and Functions" on page 396.)
The key labels are constructed by taking the ASCII string internal_label_nbu_,
followed by the ASCII representation of the decimal digits of the Pool ID with no
leading zeroes, followed by _a for the first key label and _b for the second key
label. The following are examples of constructed labels:
v internal_label_nbu_3505_a and internal_label_nbu_3505_b (for pool ID 3505)
v internal_label_nbu_4201_a and internal_label_nbu_4201_b (for pool ID 4201)
The Library Manager then performs a lookup to see if the key labels should be
mapped to another label or not. The mapped labels or the original labels are
returned to the drive for processing.
