Have you done any updating of firmware on the drives?
TSM can assign a "trivial" encryption key at times.  I have to go look
some things up to give more detail, but situations can arise where a key
other than the expected one.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Restore of encrypted files failing because entered key
not recognized

We are restoring files from our library, which were backed up using an
encryption key we've manually defined.  Most of the time, once I'm
prompted for the key, the restoration goes just dandy.
However, there are some files where the encryption key does not appear
to be accepted, no matter what we do.  We've only ever had this one key,
so we have no idea why TSM is barfing on this.

TSM Version 5, Release 4, Level 2.4, server and client.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Bruce T.
