Connectivity with Backup Software

On a system using the key management function, Fujitsu recommends using verified backup software.

If unverified backup software is used, encryption may not work normally. For more information, contact your

sales representative.

If your backup software supports the encryption function of Ultrium6 or later tape drives, be sure to disable

the encryption function of the backup software as necessary.

4.5

To issue a license for using the Key Management Function Option, the serial number of the tape library is

required. If the LT140 has already been purchased, provide the serial number of the tape library to your sales

representative to obtain this license.

If the Key Management Function Option is purchased with the tape library, no action is necessary because the

license has already been set.

4.6

The following operations are required to downgrade the system firmware from version 6.70 or later (for the

LT140 in which the Key Management Function Option is being used) to version 6.56 or earlier (for which the

Key Management Function Option is not supported).

•

Deleting the master key

•

Deleting the encryption key

•

Disabling the key management function

Since the encrypted data cannot be read after the master key and the encryption key are deleted, be sure to

export the master key and the encryption key in advance and keep them in a safe place.
