Enable a Drive for Library-Managed Encryption (LME)

After enabling library-managed encryption within the Configuration Wizard, you must enable encryption on specific IBM LTO 6+ drives within the library.

  1. Click Drives in the left navigation menu.
  2. Within the table, identify the IBM LTO6+ drives. Look at the Drive Type column of the Drives table.
  3. Right-click an IBM LTO6+ drive, and then select Drive Settings.
  4. From the Encryption Active drop-down, select Yes.

    Note:

    If you do not see the "Encryption Active" drop-down within the Drive Settings dialog, you must first enable library encryption within the Configuration Wizard.
  5. Click Ok.

    The Drive table will now show Encryption Status Enabled.
