T10000 Encryption; Lto Encryption; Re-Using Encryption Activation Permits; T10000 Drives - Oracle StorageTek SL3000 Manual

Support for application-managed and OKM-managed encryption depends on the
drive type.
T10000 Encryption All T10000 generations are encryption-ready, however enabling
either application-managed or OKM-managed encryption requires a T10K-EKEY-A-N
encryption activation permit. You can order an encryption activation permit at any
time (during initial purchase or afterwards). After purchasing the permit, use Virtual
Operator Panel (VOP) to enable encryption. T10000C and T10000D drives no longer
require encryption license keys to enable encryption.
LTO Encryption OKM-managed encryption requires an LTO-ENCRYPT-ACTIVE
encryption activation permit. Application-managed encryption using the data path
does not require a permit.
HP LTO 5 and 6 drives support both OKM-managed and application-managed
encryption.
IBM LTO 5, 6, and 7 drives require a Belisarius card in the drive tray to interface with
OKM. You may purchase a drive with or without OKM compatibility. To upgrade a
non-OKM-compatible drive, you can purchase a kit to add the Belisarius card.
Re-using Encryption Activation Permits If you previously purchased an activation permit
for an older drive, you can re-use the activation permit when upgrading to a newer
generation drive of the same family, as long as the total number of encryption enabled
drives does not exceed your total number activation permits for that family. For
example, if you have six T10K-EKEY-A-N activation permits, you can only have a total
of six encryption-enabled T10000 drives (regardless of generation).
