Figure 4 Protection Mode for
Cartridges
The Protection Mode for Cartridges area defines when the
Secure Key is used for a cartridge in a tape drive with a
Secure Key enabled. In all modes, the Secure Key is used to
read data from cartridges that have a pre-existing Secure
Key. If the Secure Key on the cartridge does not match the
current Secure Key on the library, the data on the cartridge
can not be read.
Three write protection modes are available:
• Never Write Secure Key to a Cartridge - The Secure
Key will never be written to a cartridge placed in a
secured tape drive.
• Only Write Secure Key to Blank Cartridges - The
Secure Key will only be written to blank, unformatted
cartridges.
• Write Secure Key to All Cartridges - The Secure Key
will be written to all cartridges, including blank and
formatted cartridges containing data. This mode may
be used to apply a Secure Key to cartridges with pre-
existing data.
