All encryption engines in the encryption group share the tape pool definitions. Tapes can be
encrypted by any encryption engine in the group where the container for the tape target LUN is
hosted. The tape media is mounted on the tape target LUN.
Tape pool definitions are not needed to read a tape. The tape contains enough information
(encryption method and key ID) to read the tape. Tape pool definitions are only used when writing
to tape. Tape pool names and numbers must be unique within the encryption group.
Adding tape pools
A tape pool can be identified by either a name or a number, but not both. Tape pool names and
numbers must be unique within the encryption group. When a new encryption group is created, any
existing tape pools in the switch are removed and must be added.
