Enroll the Tape Drives (Customer Task)

Drives must be enrolled to access keys from OKM. T10000 and LTO drives use different methods for enrollment.

For T10000 Drives:

  1. After the drive reboots:
    • Take the drive offline.
    • Click Configure on the menu bar.
    • Select the Drive Data command.
  2. See "Configure Menu" in the "Using T10000 9840D VOP" of the Oracle Virtual Operator Panel User's Guide to enroll the tape drives and commit the tape drive settings.
  3. Click Retrieve on the menu bar and select the View Drive Data command.

For LTO Drives:

  1. Click the Enroll Drive tab to start the tape drive enrollment process.
    • The tape drive and/or adapter card must be connected to the OKM network.
    • The OKM must be able to communicate with the adapter card and tape drive.

    Note:

    The Agent must already be created with a passphrase assigned in the OKM before you can enroll the drive.

    See "Enroll Drive" in the "Using LTO VOP" chapter of the Oracle Virtual Operator Panel User's Guide.

    If you were to unenroll the Agent in situations—such as when turning encryption off—then you need to re-enroll the agent to turn encryption back on.

    The same passphrase must be re-entered or the agent must be recreated in the OKM before re-enrollment.

  2. Enter the KMA Agent ID, KMA ServiceFoot 1IP Address, and Passphrase.
  3. Click the Enroll button.
  4. Click the Monitor Drive tab to observe the enroll process in the open display.

    See "Monitor Drive" in the "Using LTO VOP" chapter of the Oracle Virtual Operator Panel User's Guide.

  5. Set the drive Online. Click the Online status indicator or click the Set Online button under either the Enroll Drive or Configure Drive tab.
  6. Proceed to the next drive.
