Data encryption keys are generated. When you set the Encryption
Method to Enable Library Managed on a partition for the first
time, the library automatically triggers each SKM server to generate
a set of unique data encryption keys. This may take 15 minutes to
an hour or longer, depending on network performance. The library
notifies you when the process is complete.
5 Wait for the process to complete before resuming library
operations.

Description
For use with EKM. Enables encryption
support via a connected EKM key server for
all encryption-capable tape drives and media
assigned to the partition.
Not for use with EKM
backup application to provide encryption
support to all encryption-capable tape drives
and media within the partition. The library
will NOT communicate with the EKM key
server on this partition.
This is the default setting if you have
encryption-capable tape drives in the
partition. This option should remain selected
unless
you are connecting the library to an
external EKM key server.
Note If you want an external application to
:
manage encryption, you must specifically
configure the application to do so. The
library will not participate in performing this
type of encryption.
Means that no tape drives in the partition
support encryption.
If Unsupported is shown, it will be greyed
out and you will not be able to change the
