Configuring Hardware Encryption from the Command Line Interface

You can use SetDataPathProperty qscript to enable hardware encryption settings on the following:

• Storage policy copy

• All data paths available in the CommCell

• All data paths of a given library and MediaAgent

• Specific data path

Procedure

1. Open the command prompt and go to software_installation_directory\Base directory.

2. Log on to the CommServe by running the qlogin command.

3. Choose how you want to configure the hardware encryption:

   • To set the hardware encryption for a storage policy copy, run the following command:

      
     qoperation execscript -sn SetDataPathProperty -si HardwareEncryption -si SP-Copy -si <Storage_Policy_Name> -si <Storage_Policy_Copy_Name> -si <0|1|2>
         
     

   • To set the hardware encryption for all data paths in a CommCell, run the following command:

     qoperation execscript -sn SetDataPathProperty -si HardwareEncryption -si All -si <0|1|2>
         
     

   • To set the hardware encryption for all data paths of a given library and MediaAgent, run the following command:

      
     qoperation execscript -sn SetDataPathProperty -si HardwareEncryption -si Lib-MA -si <Library_Name> -si <MediaAgent_Name> -si <0|1|2>
         
     

   • To set the hardware encryption for a given data path, run the following command:

      
     qoperation execscript -sn SetDataPathProperty -si HardwareEncryption -si datapath -si <Storage_Policy_Name> -si <Storage_Policy_Copy_Name> -si <MediaAgent_Name> -si <Library_Name> -si <Drive_Pool_Name> -si <Scratch_Pool_Name> -si <0|1|2>
         
     

   Where:

   • 0 - Disables hardware encryption.

   • 1 - Enables Media Password option.

   • 2 - Enables No Access option.
