Encryption
Encryption support for the TS1140 Tape Drive in the TS3500 Tape Library, with
Fibre Channel, is provided in i5/OS, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Oracle Solaris, and Microsoft
Windows operating system environments.
Three modes of encryption management are supported:
• System Managed (available for AIX, Linux, Oracle Solaris, and Microsoft
Windows)
• Library Managed (available for OS/400, i5/OS, AIX, Linux, HP-UX, Oracle Solaris,
and Microsoft Windows)
• Application Managed (IBM Tivoli Storage Manager)
The installation of a TS1140 Tape Drive with encryption may require code updates
for System i, System p and supported open systems device drivers or storage
management software.
IBM maintains the latest levels of System Storage tape drive and library device
drivers and documentation on the Internet. Obtain them by accessing the IBM Fix
Central website
http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral
For details on supported software versions and release levels for the TS1140 Tape
Drive, as well as hardware support information, refer to the following website

Limitations
• Although multiple systems may be attached to a TS1140 E07 Tape Drive, the
systems cannot use the drive simultaneously. The TS1140 E07 can only be varied
on-line to one system at a time.
• TS1140 E07 Tape Drives are not supported for attachment to a 3590 Controller
Models A60, A50, A00, or 3592 Model J70 Controller.
Planning information
Customer responsibilities
Physical planning is a customer responsibility. Current levels of the open systems
device drivers should be obtained to ensure the TS1140 E07 is supported. For
information on these requirements, refer to
IBM System Storage 3592 Tape Drive
and Controller Introduction and Planning Guide 3592 Models J1A, E05, E06, EU6,
E07, J70 and C06,
GA32-0555.
You are responsible for downloading or obtaining from IBM, and installing designated
Machine Code (microcode, basic input/output system code (called BIOS), utility
programs, device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM machine) and other
software updates in a timely manner from an IBM Internet Web site or from other
electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides. You may request
IBM to install Machine Code changes; however, you may be charged for that service.
Cable orders
Appropriate Fibre Channel cables should be ordered for each tape drive. Refer to the
Cables
section for a list of available cables. Also refer to the
Fibre Channel Cables
section of the
Special Feature Codes
in the 3592 Model E07 Sales Manual for Fibre
