New Features and Enhancements 0
i.6.6 0
Quantum Key Manager (QKM) Support 0
Quantum Key Manager (QKM) generates, protects, stores, and maintains data encryption
keys that are used to encrypt information being written to, and decrypt information being
read from, LTO-4 tape media.
QKM acts as a process awaiting key generation or key retrieval requests sent to it through
a secure TCP/IP communication path between QKM and the tape library.
i6.5 0
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Enhancements 0
The Scalar i2000 i6.5 release provides enhancements to the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) features. LDAP is the industry standard Internet protocol that provides
centralized user account management. For more information, see the Scalar i2000
Addendum (06-01244-05).
Any LDAP configurations from i6.3.1 and earlier will not import into the i6.5 LDAP
configuration. You must reconfigure LDAP after you install the i6.5 update.
DNS Support 0
If DHCP is disabled, you can specify primary and secondary Domain Name System (DNS
servers). DNS servers provide IP address resolution of fully qualified domain names.
DNS settings are optional.
After you change the DNS settings, you must reboot the library for these changes to take
affect.
StorageCare Vision/Guardian 0
Enhancements were made to improve StorageCare Vision/Guardian functionality.
HTTP Improvements 0
You can now disable or enable the HTTP setting via the Security menu. To prevent access
to the library using the web browser client, Setup > Security > and select Disable. If you
choose to disable HTTP, access to the library is limited to the library’s operator panel or
the AMC application. To permit access to the library GUI using a web browser client,
select Enable.
Ability to Send Data Files 0
Along with sending drive utilization reports in the form of PDFs, you can now e-mail data
using the comma delimited text files (.csv).
A .csv file is a plain text file that stores basic database-style information in a simple
format, with one record on each line, and each field within that record separated by a
comma. When you save and send the data using comma delimited text files (.csv) it is
easier to view and manipulate the data in spreadsheets.
