SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

The display would be the same for non-encrypted tape media in encrypted, but disabled,
drive.
• This example shows a non-CLIM tape drive:
STORAGE - Status TAPE $TAPE11, ENCRYPTION
Drive
Not encrypted (non-CLIM)
Explanation of Fields — STATUS TAPE, ENCRYPTION Report
If no media is present or encryption status is unknown, field will display “Not present or encryption
status unknown”. If media is unencrypted, field will display “Not encrypted”.
Media
The name of the encryption key in use for the media.KeyName
The key algorithm in use for the media.KeyAlgorithm
The key size.KeySize
The current status of access between the CLIM and the ESKM (Enterprise Storage Key Manager.
Display with be “OK” or an error message.
KeyAccess
If drive is unencrypted, field will display “Not encrypted”.Drive
The name of the encryption key in use for the drive.MasterKeyName
The key algorithm in use for the drive.KeyAlgorithm
The key size.KeySize
The key generation policy. Values can be:KeyGenPolicy
Generate a key for each tape.KEYPERTAPE
Generate one key for all tapes written by this drive.KEYPERDRIVE
Do not encrypt tapes.NOENCRYPTION
The current status of access between the CLIM and the ESKM (Enterprise Storage Key Manager.
Display with be “OK” or an error message.

Configuring a Tape Drive
Configuration tasks for tape drives include:
• “Adding a Tape Drive” (page 185)
• “Altering Tape Drive Attribute Values” (page 187)
• “Deleting a Tape Drive” (page 187)
Adding a Tape Drive
The “ADD TAPE Command” (page 225) adds a tape drive to the system configuration database.
Considerations for ADD TAPE
• Before adding a SCSI tape drive, verify the SCSI interface is properly terminated.
• If tape performance is a concern, do not connect more than one tape drive to the same adapter.
• Certain attributes such as compression and density are applicable only for specific types of
tape drives. Consult the manual for the tape drive for information about these attributes. Other
devices ignore these attribute settings.
