Thanks for the correction. I should not respond from the top of the head. It never works for me.
Anyway I have a clearer description of the issue. Apparently DFHSM is using ESOTERICS, and we will need to create a new esoteric (including a change to the IODF) for it to use for the E05 drives. I am not sure why since we only have one type of tape drive. We have DFHSM currently set to use the esoteric for 3590-1. I am still researching this because I believe we should be able to do this with a more general esoteric inside DFHSM. Lizette > >Lizette, > >EFMT2 does not mean the tape is encrypted.
