Avoiding Problems With Automated Settings

StorageCare Sage

Scenario #2: Drive Loses
Power

Any time the drive is turned off or loses power, both Auto Unlock and Auto Add Key are

reset to OFF and the Secure Keys are cleared from the tape drive. If you intend to

automatically add Secure Keys to all unprotected cartridges, and you don’t realize that

Auto Add Key is OFF, you may end up with unprotected cartridges that you thought

were protected.

Solution:

Make sure you note whether Auto Add Key is ON or OFF, and what Secure

Keys are being assigned.
