3 Select an SKM partition configured for library managed encryption,
and temporarily disable library managed encryption by changing
the Encryption Method from Enable Library Managed to Allow
Application Managed (see
Figure 36 on page 194).
Remember
which partition it is
, because you will be changing it back in a few
minutes.
4 Click Apply.
Caution: When you change the partition’s encryption method to
Allow Application Managed, the data that was
written to the tapes while the partition was configured
for Enable Library Managed
can no longer be read,
until you change the partition back to Enable Library
Managed. You will only be disabling for a short time,
and then changing back to Enable Library Managed
(just to trigger the key generation process) so this
should have little effect, unless you forget to turn it
back to Enable Library Managed.
