When a tape is recycled or relabeled, the tape will be encrypted by Cisco SME. Adding Tape Groups Note If a tape is written before Cisco SME is activated, it will remain a clear text tape and will only become an encrypted tape when it is reformatted or relabeled on a tape drive that is defined in an active Cisco SME environment. Note Messages are logged to the switch when the tapes bypass encryption. Cisco MDS 9000 Family Storage Media Encryption Configuration Guide 5-2 OL-18091-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
