2 Viewing and editing group properties Encryption switches and encryption blades support tape encryption at the tape pool level (for most backup applications) and at the LUN (tape drive) level. Since Tape Pool policies override the LUN (tape drive) policies, the LUN pool policies are used only if no tape pools exist, or if the tape media/volume does not belong to any configured tape pools. All encryption engines in the encryption group share the tape pool definitions. Tapes can be encrypted by an encryption engine, where the container for the tape target LUN is hosted. The tape media is mounted on the tape target LUN. Tape pool definitions are not needed to read a tape. Tape pool definitions are only used when writing to tape. Adding tape pools A tape pool can be identified by either a name or a number, but not both. Tape pool names and numbers must be unique within the encryption group. When a new encryption group is created, any existing tape pools in the switch are removed and must be added. 1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar. The Encryption Center dialog box displays. 2.
