Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for maintaining keys removed from a keystore in an inactive key repository. A keystore includes active keys, wherein at least one active key in the keystore is associated with at least one storage device and available for encrypting and decrypting data with respect to the associated storage device. A request is received for an operation with respect to a specified active key that causes the specified active key to be removed as an active key from the keystore. The specified active key is indicated as inactive, wherein keys indicated as inactive are not available for use to encrypt and decrypt data. A request is received to restore one of the inactive keys to make available to decrypt and encrypt data for the at least one associated storage device associated with the requested inactive key.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for retrieving email attachments. An email module receives an attachment selection from an attachment interface appended to an attachmentless email. The attachmentless email comprises a body of an original email. The original email comprises an attached file. A target communication module communicates an attachment request from a target email server to a source email server. A source communication module communicates the original email from the source email server to the target email server. A replacement module replaces the attachmentless email with the original email on the target email server so that only the original email is accessible.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system, a computer program product for fencing a tape drive such that the fence is understood by all hosts that are connected to the tape drive. The tape drive is coupled to a first and a second host. If it is determined that the tape drive needs to be fenced a fence command is sent by a first host. The tape drive receives the fence command and in response fences the tape drive. If a second host sends a command that requires tape movement the tape drive returns a message to the second host informing the second host of a fenced status of the fenced tape drive. Further, the fenced state may be stored in non-volatile memory, thus, the fenced state remains and is persistent when the tape drive is power cycled.
