Windows System-Managed Encryption ServerTimoutIPAddress:Port For example, if the Windows installation is installed at c:\, the ekm server is named ekmtest, the desired timeout is 10 seconds, and the IP address is 127.0.0.1 at port 4242. Then create a line in c:\IBMEKM.conf as follows: ekmtest10127.0.0.1:4242 Querying Tape Drive Configuration Settings There is an ntutil command to query the encryption settings of a tape drive. The ntutil command is menu option 59, "get encryption state". Note: See "Microsoft Windows System - Utility Program (ntutil)" on page 406 for information on the ntutil application. The following is an example of the output when the drive is configured for system-managed encryption, with encryption turned on: Encryption capable: True Encryption method: System Managed (2) Encryption state: On (1) Problem Determination There is a debug version of the device driver that can be used if you encounter problems. The debug version of the driver issues DbgPrint messages at various places during device driver execution. To capture these messages, you must start a debugger or use a tool like Debug View, available from: http://www.sysinternals.com Windows NT Instructions Using the Debug Version To install and use the debug version of the device driver, perform the following steps after the driver has initially been installed: 1. Quiesce all activity on the tape and medium changer devices. 2. Exit all applications that are using the tape and medium changer devices. 3. Stop the device drive (MagStar.sys or IBMtape.sys). Refer to "Manual Starting and Stopping Procedures" on page 176 for details on stopping the driver. 4. Locate the ...\checked directory for the device driver level that you are running. If you chose the default installation location when you installed the drivers, the debug drivers are found at: v c:\Program files\IBM Corporation\IBM Magstar Device Drivers\n.n.n.n\checked for TotalStorage or Magstar devices, v c:\Program files\IBM Corporation\IBM Ultrium Device Drivers\n.n.n.n\checked for Ultrium devices, Where: n.n.n.n are integers that indicate the driver level. To determine the driver level, find c:\winnt\system32\drivers\(ibmtape.sys or magstar.sys) using Windows Explorer, right-click the file, select Properties, then select the Version tab. If you do not find a ...\checked directory for your driver, you must install the Device Driver Depot component of the Windows Device Driver Installation Package. 5. Go to the root prompt, for example, c:. Chapter 7. Windows Tape and Medium Changer Device Driver 185
