BackBox H4.00 Tape Encryption Option

45 BackBox H4.00 Tape Encryption
If you already have a Volume Group that you have been using and want to encrypt
content on its media from now on using VLE-CLIM Client, you can simply modify its
Media Type to LTO 4. From that point forward, all new uses of SCRATCH volumes in
the Volume Group (such as for new backups) will mount as LTO 4 media to be
encrypted. Existing ASSIGNED media will also be mounted as LTO 4 and be read by
NonStop applications, such as RESTORE, even if not encrypted. If the Volume Group
uses the DSM/TC tape catalog, the following MEDIACOM command must be
performed on the Pool associated with that Volume Group:
MEDIACOM
> ALTER POOL vt-pool-name, TYPE ANY
> ALTER TAPEVOLUME *, POOL vt-pool-name, TYPE LTO 4
