    摘要: Storage shelves of a mass data storage library are organized into a plurality of subsets for the purpose of conducting an inventory of media stored in the shelves. In response to an inventory command, the inventory is conducted in a predetermined order by subset. Upon completion of the inventory of each subset, the completion is posted in a list. A command input detects newly issued commands (subsequent to the inventory command), and places them in a queue. After completion of the inventory of a subset, and upon detecting a command for a non-inventory process (such as a media move), the inventory is interrupted and stopped. The move is conducted, and, upon completion of the move, the inventory is resumed. If a newly issued command is an inventory command, the inventory command is incorporated into the inventory process.

    摘要: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for configuring a storage drive to communicate with encryption and key managers. A storage drive receives a request to access a coupled removable storage media for drive operations. The storage drive obtains encryption status for the coupled removable storage media from an encryption manager. The storage drive determines from the obtained encryption status whether to encrypt the coupled removable storage media to access. The storage drive obtains at least one key from a key manager in response to determining to encrypt with respect to the coupled removable storage media. The storage drive performs data operations using the at least one key to encrypt data.

    摘要: A method, system and program are disclosed for efficiently processing host data which comprises encrypted and non-encrypted data and is to be written to a storage medium. The encrypted data is written to the storage medium in encrypted form. The non-encrypted data is encrypted by a storage device using a well known encryption key and written to the storage medium. In this way, the data that is processed by the storage device to and from the storage medium can always be processed through a single encryption engine.

    摘要: Provided are techniques for key generation and retrieval. Unique identifiers of two or more key servers are stored, wherein each key server is capable of generating keys for encryption of data and of returning keys for decryption of data. A key request is received. A technique for selecting one of the key servers to which the key request is to be forwarded is identified. One of the key servers is selected using the identified technique. The key request is sent to the identified key server.

    摘要: A system and computer program product are provided for utilizing target of opportunity to perform at least one special operation while a removable storage medium is mounted within a data storage drive for another purpose. The system comprises a tape library and a tape drive coupled to the tape library. The tape library receives a command to mount a tape cartridge in the tape drive. If it is determined by the tape library that at least one special operation may be performed, then tape library has recognized that a target of opportunity exists. In response to determining that at least one special operation may be performed, the tape library sends a first notification that the tape drive is to remain in a not ready state. The tape library mounts the tape cartridge in the tape drive after determining that at least one special operation may be performed. In response to the tape drive performing the at least one special operation, the tape library sends a second notification that the tape drive is in a ready state or an error state.
