CHAPTER 1 Introduction Overview The Hewlett Packard (HP) LTO4 is the fourth-generation of Ultrium, Linear Tape-Open tape drives. This generation offers more capacity and increased performance than earlier versions of LTO tape drives. Encryption The Hewlett Packard LTO4 is the first, non-StorageTek T-Series tape drive to Capable support the Crypto Key Management System Version 2.0. This encryption-capability requires a special, custom designed, Ethernet card—called the Dione card—that e

CHAPTER 2 Dione Card The Dione card—pronounced (D - O - nee)—is a custom design that provides an Ethernet interface for the HP LTO4 tape drive. With this interface, the HP LTO4 tape drive can: ■ Encrypt and decrypt data using the Sun StorageTek Crypto Key Management System (KMS), Version 2.0 and above ■ Configure and enroll the tape drive using the Virtual Operator Panel (VOP), Version 1.0.12 or higher Basically, the Dione card is a translation device between the serial interface on the

Dione Card Components Dione Card Components The Dione card installs in the open area of the drive trays behind the tape drives. Library drive trays that support this card are the: ■ SL8500 ■ SL3000 ■ SL500 ■ L-Series Each drive tray has its own unique configuration depending on the space in the open area of the drive tray. FIGURE 2-1 shows an example of a Dione card, which consists of: ■ Dione card ■ Ethernet connector (RJ-45) ■ Power connection (inline with the tape drive power) ■ Commu

Dione Card Components Connecting to the Dione Card FIGURE 2-2 shows two ways to connect to the Dione card: ■ Point-to-point using a crossover cable ■ Network using a switch or hub and standard (straight-through) Ethernet cables Note – The default IP address of the Dione card is 10.0.0.1. This address is the same as the T-Series tape drives. Because of this, the initial connection to the Dione card and LTO4 tape drive should be with a crossover cable to set a new IP address. Then once the I

KMS Operations KMS Operations When the tape drive is powered-on, the Dione card communicates to the drive over the serial port to take control of drive encryption and decryption. HP LTO4 tape drives have the capability of storing one (1) key while encrypting or decrypting data. Therefore; it is essential that these drives stay connected to the KMS network for communications. Failover and load balancing will also occur between the KMAs in the system (KMS). The following is a brief descript

KMS Operations FIGURE 2-3 Key Lifecycle A potential issue: That LTO4 drive firmware will not request a write key in the following scenario: Read, Space, Write-Filemark, Write. The drive will use the same key obtained for the Read command to encrypt the data provided for the Write command. The state of this key may be inappropriate for writing due to the policy associated with the drive (an expired key). Work-Around: Assign the drive’s Key Group having a key policy with a long encry

KMS Operations At release, the functionality to set a key in a compromised state is not present. This is a low impact issue due to the system assigning unique encryption keys for each tape cartridge. It is rare that a compromised key scenario would ever be encountered. If it was it would only impact future writes to a single tape cartridge. This functionality will be implemented in the next drive firmware update. Media RFID Chips Use FIGURE 2-4 to connect the bulleted terms with the KMS Man
