19 CHAPTER 1 Product Overview This chapter provides an overview of the Storage Media Encryption (SME) and the hardware and software requirements for the product. It contains the following sections: About Cisco Storage Media Encryption, page 1-1 Software and Hardware Requirements, page 1-10 Cisco SME Prerequisites, page 1-12 Cisco Storage Media Encryption Security Overview, page 1-13 About Cisco Storage Media Encryption The Cisco SME solution is a comprehensive network-integrated encryption service with enterprise-class key management that works transparently with existing and new SANs. The innovative Cisco network-integrated solution has numerous advantages over competitive solutions available today: Cisco SME installation and provisioning are both simple and nondisruptive. Unlike other solutions, Cisco SME does not require rewiring or SAN reconfiguration. Encryption engines are integrated on the Cisco MDS /4-Port Multiservice Module (MSM-18/4) and the Cisco MDS 9222i Multiservice Module Switch, eliminating the need to purchase and manage extra switch ports, cables, and appliances. Traffic from any virtual SAN (VSAN) can be encrypted using Cisco SME, enabling flexible, automated load balancing through network traffic management across multiple SANs. No additional software is required for provisioning, key, and user role management; Cisco SME is integrated into Cisco Fabric Manager, which reduces operating expenses. 1-1

20 About Cisco Storage Media Encryption Chapter 1 Product Overview Figure 1-1 shows the integration of Cisco SME with SAN fabrics to offer seamless management of data encryption.

As a platform, the Cisco MDS 9000 family switches provide all essential features required to deliver secure, highly available, enterprise-class Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN) fabric services. Cisco has integrated encryption for data-at-rest as a transparent fabric service to take full advantage of this platform. Storage Media Encryption is a standards-based encryption solution for heterogeneous tape libraries and virtual tape libraries. Cisco SME is managed with Cisco Fabric Manager and a command-line interface (CLI) for unified SAN management and security provisioning. Cisco SME includes the following comprehensive built-in key management features: Transparent Fabric Service, page 1-3 Encryption, page 1-3 Cisco SME Roles, page 1-3 Key Management, page 1-4 Clustering, page 1-5 FC-Redirect, page 1-6 Server-Based Discovery for Provisioning Tapes, page 1-6 Target-Based Load Balancing, page 1-6 SME Scalability, page

21 Chapter 1 Product Overview About Cisco Storage Media Encryption Transparent Fabric Service Cisco employs a Fibre Channel redirect scheme that automatically redirects the traffic flow to an MSM-18/4 module or an MDS 9222i switch anywhere in the fabric. There are no appliances in-line in the data path and there is no SAN rewiring or reconfiguration. Encryption Cisco SME Roles Cisco SME uses strong, IEEE-compliant AES 256 encryption algorithms to protect data at rest. Advanced Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS and NX-OS software security features, such as Secure Shell (SSH), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), RADIUS, and Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) provide the foundation for the secure FIPS Level 3 architecture. Cisco SME uses the NIST-approved random number standard to generate the keys for encryption. Encryption and compression services are transparent to the hosts and storage devices. Cisco SME services include the following four configuration and security roles: Cisco SME Administrator Cisco SME Storage Administrator Cisco SME Key Management Center (KMC) Administrator Cisco SME Recovery Officer The Cisco SME Administrator configures and maintains Cisco SME. This role can be filled by multiple storage network administrators. The Cisco SME Storage Administrators are responsible for Cisco SME provisioning operations and the Cisco SME KMC Administrators are responsible for the Cisco SME KMC administration operations. The security officer may be assigned the Cisco SME KMC Administrator role in some scenarios. Note Cisco SME Administrator role includes the Cisco SME Storage Administrator and the Cisco SME KMC Administrator roles. The Cisco SME Recovery Officers are responsible for key recovery operations. During Cisco SME configuration, additional Recovery Officers can be added. Cisco SME Recovery Officers play a critical role in recovering the key database of a deactivated cluster and they are responsible for protecting the master key. The role of the Cisco SME Recovery Officer separates master key management from Cisco SME administrations and operations. In some organizations, a security officer may be assigned to this role. At the advanced security level, a quorum of Cisco SME Recovery Officers is required to perform recovery procedures. The default is 2 out of 5. In this case 2 of the 5 recovery officers are required to unlock the master key. For additional information on Cisco SME Administrator and Cisco SME Recovery Officer roles, see the Creating and Assigning Cisco SME Roles and Cisco SME Users section on page

22 About Cisco Storage Media Encryption Chapter 1 Product Overview Key Management Cisco Key Management Center (KMC) provides essential features such as key archival, secure export and import, and key shredding. Key management features include the following: Master key resides in smart cards. Quorum (2 out of 5) of smart cards required to recover the master key. Unique key per tape. Keys reside in clear-text only inside a FIPS boundary. Tape keys and intermediate keys are wrapped by the master key and deactivated at the Key Management Center. Option to store tape keys on tape media. The centralized key lifecycle management includes the following: Archive, shred, recover, and distribute media keys. Integrated into Fabric Manager Server. Secure transport of keys. End-to-end key management using HTTPS/SSL/SSH. Access controls and accounting. Use of existing AAA mechanisms. The Cisco KMC provides dedicated key management for Cisco SME, with support for single and multisite deployments. The Cisco KMC performs key management operations. The Cisco KMC is either integrated or separated from Fabric Manager depending on the deployment requirements. Single site operations can be managed by the integration of the Cisco KMC in Fabric Manager. In multisite deployments, the centralized Cisco KMC can be used together with the local Fabric Manager servers that are used for fabric management. This separation provides robustness to the KMC and also supports the storage media encryption deployments in different locations sharing the same Cisco KMC. Figure 1-2 shows how Cisco KMC is separated from Fabric Manager for a multisite deployment. A Cisco KMC is configured only in the primary data center and Fabric Manager servers are installed in all the data centers to manage the local fabrics and provision storage media encryption. The storage media encryption provisioning is performed in each of the data centers and the tape devices and backup groups in each of the data centers are managed independently. 1-4

Primary Data Center Cisco Fabric Manager Fabric A Cisco SME Cluster 1 Fabric B Key catalog Cisco KMC Cisco Fabric Manager Cisco SME Cluster 2 Fabric B Fabric B Cisco Fabric Manager Cisco SME Cluster 3 Fabric A Other Data Centers Fabric A In the case of multisite deployments when the Cisco KMC is separated from Fabric Manager, fabric discovery is not required on the Cisco KMC installation. The clusters that have connection to the Cisco KMC will be online and the clusters that are not connected, but are not deactivated, appear as offline. The Cisco SME clusters that are deleted from the fabric appear as deactivated. The high availability Cisco KMC server consists of a primary server and a secondary server. When the primary server is unavailable, the cluster connects to the secondary server and fails over to the primary server once the primary server is available.

24 About Cisco Storage Media Encryption Chapter 1 Product Overview FC-Redirect Cisco SME performance can easily be scaled up by adding more Cisco MDS 9000 family switches or modules. The innovative Fibre Channel redirect capabilities in Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS enable traffic from any switch port to be encrypted without SAN reconfiguration or rewiring. Server-Based Discovery for Provisioning Tapes Cisco SME provides discovery of backend targets using the identity of the host during a session establishment. Target-Based Load Balancing The Cisco SME cluster consists of a set of switches (in a dual-fabric environment) running the Cisco SME application. Clustering offers target-based load balancing of Cisco SME application services. The cluster infrastructure allows the Cisco SME application to communicate and coordinate to maintain consistency and high availability. Load balancing is achieved by distributing ownership of the various metadata objects throughout the cluster. Cisco SME assigns hosts to the available Cisco SME interfaces using the following algorithm: All hosts for a given target port are always assigned to the same Cisco SME interface. If a target port is connected to one of the Cisco SME switches, an interface is selected based on the load from the target-connected switch. That is, the target locality is considered when choosing a Cisco SME interface for a target. If a target is connected to a switch that has no Cisco SME interface, then the target is assigned to the least loaded available interface in the Cisco SME cluster. In target-based load balancing, the load on an interface refers to the number of targets assigned to that interface. Caution The load balancing command is disruptive to traffic. Ensure that you execute this command at a scheduled downtime, otherwise, the existing traffic will be affected. SME Scalability The following features improve the scalability and performance of the Cisco SME application by minimizing the network overhead and maximizing the overall throughput: The SME application supports the batching of messages where messages of the same type are combined and sent as a single message. This feature saves a significant amount of overhead and minimizes the number of messages between the SME process and the cluster process. The reduction in the traffic load substantially reduces the CPU usage of these processes. The FC redirect process is optimized by caching the FC redirect messages. This feature reduces the number of identical messages that are generated each time a new ITL is configured, which reduces the total number of backend messages. 1-6

25 Chapter 1 Product Overview About Cisco Storage Media Encryption The affinity-based load balancing feature reduces the FC redirect interactions, which reduces the overhead in the existing operation. Cisco SME Terminology The following Cisco SME-related terms are used in this book: Cisco SME interface The security engine in the MSM-18/4 module or fixed slot of a Cisco MDS 9222i fabric switch. Each MSM-18/4 module and MDS 9222i switch has one security engine. Cisco SME cluster A network of MDS switches that are configured to provide the Cisco SME functionality; each switch includes one or more MSM-18/4 modules and each module includes a security engine. Fabric A physical fabric topology in the SAN as seen by Fabric Manager. There can be multiple VSANs (logical fabrics) within the physical fabric. Tape group A backup environment in the SAN. This consists of all the tape backup servers and the tape libraries that they access. Tape device A tape drive that is configured for encryption. Tape volumes A physical tape cartridge identified by a barcode for a given use. Tape volume group A logical set of tape volumes that are configured for a specific use, for example, a group of tape volumes used to backup a database. Key Management Center A component of the Fabric Manager that stores the encryption keys. Master Key An encryption key generated when an Cisco SME cluster is created. The master key encrypts the tape volume keys and tape keys and it is required to decrypt those keys in order to retrieve encrypted data. Media Key A key that is used for encrypting and authenticating the data on specific tapes. SmartCard A card (approximately the size of a credit card) with a built-in microprocessor and memory used for authentication. Cisco SME Administrator An administrator who configures Cisco SME. This role includes the Cisco Storage Administrator role where the administrator manages the storage media encryption operations and the Cisco SME KMC Administrator role where the administrator is responsible for the Cisco SME key management operations. Cisco Storage Administrator An administrator who manages the storage media encryption operations. Cisco SME KMC Administrator An administrator who is responsible for the Cisco SME key management operations. Cisco SME Recovery Officer A data security officer entrusted with smart cards and the associated PINs. Each smart card stores a share of the cluster master key. Recovery officers must present their cards and PINs to recover the key database of a deactivated cluster. A quorum of recovery officers are required to execute this operation. 1-7

26 About Cisco Storage Media Encryption Chapter 1 Product Overview Supported Topologies Single-Fabric Topology Cisco SME supports a single-fabric topology. The Cisco MSM-18/4 module and the MDS 9222i switch provides the Cisco SME engines used by Cisco SME to encrypt and compress data-at-rest. Multiple modules can be deployed in a Fibre Channel fabric to easily scale-up performance, to enable simplified load balancing, and to increase availability. In a typical configuration, one MSM-18/4 is required in each Cisco SME cluster. Cisco SME clusters include designated backup servers, tape libraries, and one or more MDS switches running Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(2c) or later or NX-OS 4.x. One cluster switch must include an MSM-18/4 module. With easy-to-use provisioning, traffic between any host and tape on the fabric can utilize the Cisco SME services. Required Cisco SME engines are included in the following Cisco products: Cisco MDS 9000 Family 18/4-port Multiservice Module (MSM-18/4) Cisco MDS 9222i Multiservice Module Switch Figure 1-3 shows a single-fabric topology in which the data from the HR server is forwarded to the Cisco MSM-18/4. The Cisco MSM-18/4 can be anywhere in the fabric. Cisco SME does a one-to-one mapping of the information from the host to the target and forwards the encrypted data to the dedicated HR tape. Cisco SME also tracks the barcodes on each encrypted tape and associates the barcodes with the host servers. Figure 1-3 shows encrypted data from the HR server is compressed and stored in the HR tape library. Data from the server is not encrypted when backed up to the dedicated tape library. 1-8

Encryption and compression services are transparent to the hosts and storage devices. These services are available for devices in any virtual SANs (VSANs) in a physical fabric and can be used without rezoning. In-Service Software Upgrade in Cisco SME In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) is a comprehensive, transparent software upgrade capability that allows you to add new features and services without any disruption to the traffic. In a cluster, which has the MDS 9222i switch as nodes, if the nodes are not able to communicate, then the node having the lowest node identifier (node ID) remains in the cluster while the other node leaves the cluster. However, when an ISSU is performed on a node having the lowest node identifier, a complete loss of the cluster results since both the nodes leave the cluster. This undesirable situation is addressed in a two-node cluster as follows: The upgrading node sends a message to the other node of the intent to leave the cluster. The upgrading node can either be a master node or a slave node. The remaining node remains in the cluster and performs the role of the master node if it was a slave node. This node continues to remain in the cluster with the quorum intact. After the ISSU is completed and the switches boots up, the upgraded node rejoins the cluster as a slave node. 1-9
