Linux System-Managed Encryption The following is an example of the output when the drive is configured for system-managed encryption, with encryption turned on: issuing query encryption status... encryption capable......Yes encryption method.......METHOD_SYSTEM encryption state........ON Testing Data Encryption Configuration and Connectivity There is an IBMtapeutil command to validate the ibmekm.conf file server entries and test tape drive to server connectivity operations. This test can be run using the IBMtapeutil menu option 58, "EKM Test". Note: See "Linux System - Tape Utility Program (IBMtapeutil)" on page 385 for information on the IBMtapeutil application. The process involves three tests. 1. The first test checks the server configuration defined in the ibmekm.conf file and then communication to the configured servers. This test reports back the number of servers available. 2. The second test runs a basic diagnostic that checks the tape drive to server communication and reports success or fail. 3. The third test runs an enhanced diagnostic that checks a key operation between the tape drive and server then reports success or fail. The following is an example of the output of a successful test: Testing server configuration and connections... Testing complete, servers available 1 Running basic drive to server encryption test... Testing complete, completion code 3 Running full drive to server encryption test... Testing complete, completion code 3 If the first server test fails with one of the following errors, then the remaining tests are not run. Perform the recommended problem determination to resolve the problem: v "Invalid argument or Operation not supported on device" System encryption is not configured for the tape drive in the device driver. Use SMIT to set system encryption to "yes" for the tape drive. If system encryption can not be set then the tape drive is not encryption capable. v "Can't assign requested address" Either the ibmekm.conf file is missing or is invalid. Check and correct. v "Network is down" All configured servers in the ibmekm.conf file are not available. Check all servers configured in the ibmekm.conf file are currently running on the server IP address and configured correctly. Chapter 5. Linux Tape and Medium Changer Device Driver 115
