Hello

Just wanted to get some feedback from anyone with experience in doing
tape drive encryption.

We normally run TSM using IBM tape drives in a quantum library. But we
have a contractual requirement to deliver encrypted tapes in a standard
tar format.

Because this is a last minute once off thing we are looking for an easy
and cheap way to setup tape drive encryption from the system level.

We are using IBM drivers, and I can see there is a ekm config file that
points to an EKM server. But it's not clear what protocols/standard are
used/required by the EKM server and which ones work etc.

Any help would be appreciated
