HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 & MSL LTO-4 Encryption Kit Getting started 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 may be used with HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloaders, and MSL2024, MSL4048, and MSL8096 Tape Libraries. It may not be used with MSL6000 Tape Libraries. © Copyright 2008 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
