Hi David, If you plan to buy LTO4 drives, don't forget to mention to your supplier you want to use encryption. You have to buy a separate feature for it, feature is called 1604 - Transparent LTO Encryption.
We weren't made aware of this by IBM and it took a while before we figured out we couldn't get encryption to work because of this. Configuring this feature must be done by IBM, so that's where we waiting for at this moment. Good luck....

I know LTO4 drives support encryption by the drive. 1. As LTO4 drives can read and write LTO3 tapes also, can it do encryption on LTO3 tapes? 2. With encryption on LTO tapes. When an encrypted tape is "reclaimed" by TSM, is it just another scratch tape? I mean can it then be written as encrypted or unencrypted, or is there some extra step to use a scratch tape that was encrypted as unencrypted? (Perhaps a silly question, but maybe not.)
