Why do you think HSM is not letting your tapes use the hardware encryption? dd keller

We would like to be able to encrypt the DFHSM Mig tapes. We prefer using our DATACLAS but I am not sure DFHSM is letting it happen. We are using this ACS code for all of our customer backup tape data so it can be sent offsite incase of a DR. However, we want to include the DFHSM tapes as well in the encryption process.
