  • Patent number: 12267410
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing access to tape cartridges at a tape archival service provider. A determination is made as to whether a non-volatile memory of the tape cartridge stores a key encryption key comprising an encrypted user encryption key associated with a user. In response to determining that the non-volatile memory of the tape cartridge stores the key encryption key, the key encryption key is decrypted to produce the user encryption key. The user encryption key, resulting from the decrypting, is provided to an encryption engine of the tape drive to encrypt plain-text data read from the tape medium in the tape cartridge with the user encryption key to return to a read request.

  • Patent number: 10929070
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: sending an instruction to write a first copy of a first portion of data to a first partition on a first tape, and sending an instruction to write a second copy of the first portion of data to a second partition on a second tape. The first tape has at least the first partition and a second partition, while the second tape also has at least a first partition and the second partition. The first partition on each of the first and second tapes is closer to a beginning of the respective tape than the second partition on the respective tape. The second tape is also different than the first tape.

  • Patent number: 10162564
    Abstract: In a storage system including plural source storage devices, a target storage device selects which source storage device to accept a copy request from the target storage device so as to minimize the load on the entire system. The system calculates first and second load values for job loads being processed. System load values for the system are derived from job load value of a specific data, and respective load values for first and second source storage devices. The system compares the system load values to select a storage device to provide the data copy so as to minimize the load on the entire system.
