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.
