Encryption Overview

Library Managed Encryption (LME) provides the capability to connect an Open
System host with a 3494 Tape Library in order to encrypt tapes when they are
connected to encryption-capable 3592 drives in the library. This does not require
any changes to the host application or device drivers.
Note: For encryption-capable 3592 drives that are not directly attached to hosts

Enabling Library Managed Encryption

To enable LME, the following feature codes must be ordered:
v To enable encryption in an open system, FC 5596 (Encryption Configuration)
v For 3494 installed Models Lxx or Model HA1, FC 5048 (Library Manager
v FC9900 (Encryption Configuration) must be applied to the TS7740 Server.

improvement card in Library Manager. If this feature is added to a Model HA1,
the other Library Manager must have FC5048 or FC9048.
FC9900 also provides publications and other information necessary to enable
encryption.
