Obtain the T10000 Encryption Enablement Drive Data (Installer Task)

T10000 drives running firmware versions below 1.57.30x (T10000C) or 4.06.106 (T10000D) require Encryption Enablement Keys (E-keys). The installer must obtain the enablement data.

Drives with 1.57.30x or 4.06.106 and higher firmware levels display a Licensed status on VOP screens. Skip the following procedures and go to Enroll the Tape Drives (Customer Task) to complete an installation or replacement for these drives.

1. Using the VOP, connect to and power-on each tape drive.
2. Record the last eight digits of the tape drive serial number.
3. See "Retrieve Menu" in the "Using T10000 9840D VOP" chapter of the Oracle Virtual Operator Panel User's Guide to view drive data.
4. See "Configure Menu" in the "Using T10000 9840D VOP" chapter of the Oracle Virtual Operator Panel User's Guide to build information about the tape drives.
5. You will find this information helpful during the installation, activating, and enrollment process for the tape drives (called agents).
6. Request an Encryption Key File:
   1. Log in to the CRCApplications Web. Access is Limited: You must be an employee, have completed the training courses, and have your name included on the list to access this link.
   2. Select Request an Encryption key.
7. Complete the Encryption Request form.
   1. First name, last name, and e-mail address are automatically included.
   2. Provide a site ID and order number.
   3. Select the tape drive type.
   4. Complete the serial number for the selected tape drive.
   5. Add any optional remarks and click Request Key File.

   After submitting the Encryption File Request a prompt displays to download the file. This file contains the drive data you need to enable and enroll the drive. Family serial numbers start with:

   • T10000A =5310 xxxxxxxx
   • T10000B =5720 xxxxxxxx
   • T10000C =5760 xxxxxxxx
   • T10000D =5790 xxxxxxxx
   • T9840D  =5700 xxxxxxxx

   When selecting the Driver Family type, the first four numbers are automatically filled in.

8. Continue with this process until you obtain all the drive data files for each tape drive you are going to enable.
   If you open the drive data file, using WordPad for example, you can see and verify the drive serial number, enablement key, and crypto serial number (CSN). For example:

   03B90866E66E1404C596FA0628B6335F435BB43302583AFDB4B121A6CB2C8E52
   000160
   02531002001232
   

9. Create a drive data file structure.
   When enabling multiple drives, it is best to create a file structure where each tape drive has its own folder. For example:

   crypto_drvs
       1234
           drive_data.txt
       1235
           drive_data.txt
       1236
       ...
   

   Under crypto_drvs are the folders for each tape drive using the serial numbers. In each serial number folder is the drive data file for that specific tape drive.
