You can have 1 key per volume pool. So on 6.5.5 you can encrypt 2 pools. You can have different encryption keys for each pool. So I have 2 different key tags depending on which pool the tape belongs to. In 7.0 you can have 20 pools, but again you can only have 1 active key per volume pool.

What I think they are going for is the fact that tiviloi can have a bunch of keys and does a kind of round robbin with them so all the tapes do not have the same encrypted key That is a difference between kms - with NB kms if you have the key to that pool then you have the key to all the tapes
