Enabling and Disabling
FIPS Mode on HP LTO-5
or Later Tape Drives
To operate your HP LTO-5 or later Fibre Channel tape drives to be
compliant with FIPS, you must enable “FIPS mode.” FIPS mode is
enabled by partition. You enable FIPS mode on a partition, which
enables FIPS mode on all of the tape drives in the partition.
To change FIPS mode for a partition, do the following:
1 Log on as an administrator.
2 Make sure you are viewing the physical library (from the View
menu, select the name of the physical library).
3 Select Setup > Encryption > Partition Configuration. The EKM
Partition Configuration dialog box displays (see
Figure 44).
4 Change the Encryption Method of a partition to Enable Library
Managed.
5 Select the FIPS check box to enable FIPS mode for the partition.
Clear the FIPS check box to disable FIPS mode for the partition.
6 Click OK.
