Well, contrary to the response I received about this being as simple as
changing the devclass value, I can not get encryption to work.
I changed the devclass to DRIVEENCRYPTION=ON and the first attempt to
write a new tape fails with:
9/3/2013 9:59:03 AM ANR8985E The drive 7876475
(/dev/lin_tape/by-serial/000007876475) in library TS3500-COPY is using an
encryption method that is incompatible with the current server settings.
So, I figured I would check the hardware settings of the TS1130 -E06
drives. They were all set to NO ENCRYPTION. I changed this to APPLICATION
and figured that would take care of it. No such luck. Same errors.
Tried resetting/cycling the drives - still nothing.
Tried taking all drives and paths offline, figuring this might
reset/retrieve the new drive setting - still nothing - same errors.
Is there some library (TS3500) setting that may be blocking this?
So, what I am missing?
