a2500226 IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool Note: If ITDT-GE detects a FIPS-certified drive firmware, it displays a warning dialog. Before continuing, ensure that you use a FIPS-certified firmware to update the drive. Encryption Figure 96. Encryption Function Note: Note that the test shown on the graphic above was run on a non-encrypted device and is showing a failure. The Encryption function is used to verify if data on the cartridge was actually written encrypted. It reads both decrypted and raw data from the cartridge into two separate files on disk. The user can then verify that the data differs to ensure that encryption worked. The Encryption function is only supported on encryption enabled drives and requires an encryption infrastructure including the Encryption Key Manager (EKM) to be properly set up. 1. After selecting the device you want to test, start the encryption function by selecting Test -> Encryption Verification from the actions toolbar. 2. ITDT-GE then displays the Encryption Verification screen. On this screen, the system requires the entry of the number of the start record and the amount of data (in KB) to be read. 3. Enter the required values and click OK to start the encryption. The Encryption function can be stopped by clicking the Abort button. Note: It may take some time until the Encryption function actually stops. Table 30 on page 284 defines the abort codes. Chapter 10. IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool (ITDT) 323
