Description
Spectra Security Key Lifecycle Manager (Spectra SKLM) is a centralized key
management system that allows you to manage the lifecycle of the encryption
keys and security certificates for your library. Spectra SKLM provides role‐
based access control, based on user privileges, for tasks that range from creating
and assigning encryption keys to the backup and restoration of data.
See the
Spectra Tape Libraries Encryption User Guide for more information about
the Spectra SKLM Encryption key management system.
The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) using the HP
Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) is a centralized key management
system that allows you to manage the lifecycle of the encryption keys and
security certificates for your library. The library software uses the HP ESKM
server to generate, store, and retrieve security keys used by tape drives for data
encryption.
See the
Spectra Tape Libraries Encryption User Guide for more information about
the KMIP Encryption key management.
The Capacity‐On‐Demand (CoD) feature lets you purchase a library that meets
your current storage needs and then purchase additional capacity later as
required. CoD reduces up‐front costs, because users only pay for what they
currently need. As more capacity is required, it can be added in increments by
purchasing activation codes to license additional chambers in the library and
additional TeraPack magazines to fill the added chambers.
If you purchase CoD capacity that exceeds the number of unlicensed chambers
available in the current library configuration, purchase shelves to replace a
DBA in an existing frame or an expansion frame. These upgrades and their
installation by a certified Spectra Logic field technician are priced separately
from the CoD capacity upgrade.
Rotation Manager is a keyed option to simplify identifying tapes that were
moved off site. With Rotation Manager installed, the library sends an email
containing the barcode information for every piece of media and its off‐site
location to a specified email address.
See Configure Rotation Manager on page 134 for additional information about
Rotation Manager.
Shared Library Services (SLS) partitioning logically divides the library into
multiple virtual libraries. With SLS, one library can support multiple media
types and provide dedicated library services to multiple user groups. The
default library configuration includes support for a single storage partition. If
you need additional storage partitions, you must purchase a Shared Library
Services (SLS) activation key.
See Library Partitions on page 51 for more information about using partitioning
in the library using SLS.
