Library Managed Encryption (LME)

The library can manage encryption for IBM LTO-6 and higher drives.

With library code 3.50 or above, the library can manage enrollment and key delivery for IBM LTO-6 and higher drives. Each drive that you enroll still requires an encryption activation file. However, with LME, the library is the OKM agent instead of individual drives, meaning you only need to enroll the library with OKM rather than individual drives. Enabling LME globally enables encryption for all IBM LTO-6+ drives within the library regardless of the partitioning configuration. You will still need to use VOP to enroll HP LTO drives.
