Secure Manager RMI screens display SAS hosts and SAS drives with gray text. The only Secure
Manager function you can perform on the items is to change the name of a SAS host.
NOTE:
When Secure Manager is first enabled, you cannot see the library or any of the Secure Manager-
supported tape drives installed in the library from the host computers until Secure Manager is configured
and the library and drives are made visible to the hosts. The host computers will always see drives that
are not supported by Secure Manager.
IMPORTANT:
Secure Manager alters the drive device access method programmed into the tape drives to prevent
access by unauthorized hosts on the SAN. With Secure Manager enabled, only hosts that are
included in the access control group for a tape drive can see the drive. Before moving a tape drive
to a library that is not using Secure Manager, reset the tape drive access method to the default open
state by disabling Secure Manager.
NOTE:
A host WWPN can only be in one Access Control Group. A library and drive device can be in multiple
Access Control Groups.
Enabling Secure Manager
Procedure
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Secure Manager screen.
2. Select Secure Manager Enabled.
3. Click Finish.
After Secure Manager is enabled, configure the hosts and drives into access groups with the wizards
in the Secure Manager Configuration area.

attached.
