We had the same question about a year ago, and the only answer we could find was two pieces of hardware .... The first box was essentially an escon/ficon converter that could emulate 3390's on SAN storage. The second box sat between the first box and the SAN storage and did the encrypt/decrypt.
The doc said it would work, so it must, but we never had to try it.

Just curious if anyone has heard anything about new DASD coming out any time soon (or not so soon) that will have encryption built in, where anything written to a volume on a unit supporting this would automatically get encrypted; and decrypted when read, of course.
