I am reading up on the documentation 
and encrypting the content of lto4 
drives . 

I am using Networker 7.4 sp1 with
an IBM ts3310. 

I understand that to do software encryption 
I need to install EKM on my AIX 5.3
box. 

I would prefer however to do hardware 
emcryption/decryption . The ts3310 has
a hardware encryption feature. 

Why can't I simply turn on this hardware 
encryption feature ? If so what is the advantage 
of turning on EKM ?
