Hi Joni,
We use Application Managed Encryption, with IBM 3584 library and LTO4 drives. 
This only works for a storage pool with DRIVEENCRYPTION=ON. It does not encrypt 
the db backup tape. TSM handles the keys. We use this for off-site archive 
tapes.  Currently in the process of recalling all LTO2 archive tapes and moving 
them to LTO4 tapes in this Encrypted storage pool.
Not hard to set up.  Checkout this link:

Hello everyone,

I am beginning the process of deciding upon a method of encryption.  I was just 
wondering if anyone utilizes TSM to encrypt data?  It seems to be quite a 
cumbersome method of encryption...

I was also wondering if anyone was using hardware encryption in their 
environments?  And what type of set up do you have?

Thanks in advance!!!!
