CAUTION:
The key server token protects access to the encryption keys with
a personal identification number (PIN). If you lose the PIN, you
will NOT be able to restore data from your encrypted tapes.
Neither you nor HP can recover a lost PIN. Keep a copy of the
PIN in a safe place.
CAUTION:
The Encryption Kit includes two key server tokens. The second
token is intended as a backup for the first token. When you
create new keys, HP recommends that you copy the new keys
to the backup token and then store the backup token in a safe
place. Even if you have the encryption token associated with the
tape, you will not be able to restore data from your encrypted
tapes without the token. Neither you nor HP can generate the
encryption key for a tape without the token and its PIN.
The HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 & MSL LTO-4 Encryption Kit provides
secure storage for LTO-4 encryption keys and access to the encryption
capability of the LTO-4 tape drives without requiring encryption
support in the backup application. The Encryption Kit is designed to
be used with manual processes for tracking the correlation between
tape cartridges and tokens. To restore data from an encrypted tape
cartridge, you must know which token has the encryption key for the
tape cartridge.

associated with the Encryption Kit, and operation of the Encryption Kit,
