encryption. For details on setting up application-managed tape encryption refer to

the Tivoli Storage Manager documentation or for more information, visit the

following site:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp

System-Managed Tape Encryption

In this method, key generation and management is performed by the EKM, a

Java

™

application running on the host. Policy controls and keys pass through the

data path between the system layer (device drivers) and the encryption-capable

tape drives. Encryption is transparent to the applications.

It is required to use the latest device drivers available on the

ftp

down load site:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/

Refer to “Planning for System-Managed Tape Encryption” on page 19 for details on

the hardware and software requirements for system-managed encryption. For

details on setting up system-managed encryption in different operating system

environment, refer to the applicable chapter for each operating system.

Library-Managed Tape Encryption

This method is best for encryption-capable tape drives in an open attached IBM

tape libraries. Scratch encryption policies specifying when to use encryption are set

up through the IBM System Storage Tape Library Specialist Web interface. Policies

are based on cartridge volume serial numbers. Key generation and management is

performed by the EKM, a Java application running on a host. Policy control and

keys pass through the library-to-drive interface, therefore encryption is transparent

to the applications.

Library-managed encryption is supported on AIX, Windows Server 2003, Windows

Server 2008, Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Please refer to “Planning for

Library-Managed Tape Encryption” on page 21 for details on the hardware and

software requirements for library-managed encryption. For details on setting up

library-managed encryption on encryption-capable tape drives, please refer to the

IBM System Storage Tape Library Operator’s Guide for your library.

Planning for Application-Managed Tape Encryption

Note:

Please contact your IBM Representative for additional information about

encryption on the IBM encryption-capable tape drive.

In order to perform encryption on the encryption-capable tape drive, the following

is required:

Encryption-capable tape drive(s)

Encryption configuration features:

–

Library code updates and Transparent LTO Encryption feature code for

libraries with Ultrium LTO4 drives

–

Tape drive code updates

Application-Managed Tape Encryption Setup Tasks

Any task not identified as an IBM service task is the responsibility of the customer.

Install, cable, and configure the encryption-capable tape drive (refer your IBM

System Storage Tape Drive or Library Operator’s Guide )

Install appropriate IBM tape device driver level (Atape, for example).

Set up encryption policies. Refer to the appropriate TSM documentation.
