Solaris System-Managed Encryption To disable SME in a particular target: name=″IBMtape″ class=″scsi″ target=0 lun=0 block_size=0 buffering=1 immediate=0 trailer=0 sili=0 sys_encryption_proxy=0; Querying Tape Drive Configuration There is a tapeutil command available for encryption to query tape drive encryption settings. The current tape drive encryption settings can be queried using the tapeutil menu with the option "Get Drive Encryption Settings" or the command line "tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/device_special_file encryption". Note: See "Solaris System - Tape Utility Program (tapeutil)" on page 397 for information on the tapeutil application. Following is an example of a correct tape drive configuration with sys_encryption_write set to "on". If the sys_encryption_write parameter is set to "no", then the tape drive "Encryption State" is Off. # tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/38stn encryption GET_ENCRYPTION_STATE command succeeded. Encryption settings: Encryption Capable ... Yes Encryption Method .... System Encryption State........ ON Testing Data Encryption Configuration and Connectivity There is a tapeutil command added to validate the ibmekm.conf file server entries and test tape drive to server connectivity operations. This test can be run using the tapeutil menu in the option "EKM Test" or the command line "tapeutil -f/dev/rmt/device_special_file ekmtest". Note: See "Solaris System - Tape Utility Program (tapeutil)" on page 397 for information on the tapeutil application. 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. The second test runs a basic diagnostic that checks the tape drive to server communication and reports success or fail. The third test runs an enhanced diagnostic that checks a key operation between the tape drive and server then reports success or fail. Following is an example of a successful test: 154 IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide
