## Viewing Keys for SME Tape

You can view information about unique tape volume keys, tape volume group keys, and shared tape volume group keys. Using DCNM-SAN Web Client, you can view keys that are stored in the Cisco KMC. When keys are generated, they are marked as active; keys that are imported are marked as deactivated. The keys are never displayed in clear text.

Detailed Steps

To view tape volume group keys, follow these steps:

1. Click a volume group to display the volume group key information.

In the unique key mode, only the wrap key is showing. The wrap key is the tape volume group key that wraps volume keys. If shared mode is selected, the wrap key and a shared key are in view. The wrap key wraps the shared key. Keys are listed as TapeVolumeGroupWrapKey or the TapeVolumeGroupSharedKey.

There are no volume keys in shared key mode; you will see only the shared key.

2. Click the Active tab to view all active keys.

3. Click the Deactivated tab to view all keys that have been marked as deactivated and stored in the Cisco KMC. You can view the barcode, GUID (the unique key identifier generated by the switch), deactivated date, and version (the version of the tape key generated for the same barcode).
