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. 2. "Can't assign requested address" - Either the ibmekm.conf file is missing or is invalid. Check and correct. 3. "Network is down" - All configured servers in the ibmekm.conf file are not available.
