I've recently installed 2 LTO-4 drives in my MSL6030 tape library. Backup software is Netbackup 6.5.2. Backups are running smoothly and I want to now enable hardware tape encryption. But I just can't seem to find any details bar some vague information from HP on how to make this work. I've looked at their white paper on this (
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA1-4878ENW.pdf) and it makes reference to using a Web GUI or the Operator Control panel to enable Native Mode Encryption. I've looked for this on my control panel and can't see it. It seems to me that the only option is to spend another $2500 on HP's key management software. Has anyone else had any success getting this to work?
