The web client allows you to configure a partition so that the tape cartridges it contains are encrypted by the library. Library managed encryption works with an external Encryption Key Management (EKM) server. For an overview of library managed EKM, see About Encryption Key Management.
The library supports only LTO-4 tape drives and LTO-4 tape cartridges for encryption using EKM. If no LTO-4 tape drives are assigned to a partition, the encryption method for that partition will show as Unsupported on the screen. If a partition contains a mix of LTO-4 tape drives and other tape drive types, only LTO-4 tape cartridges written to and read by LTO-4 tape drives will be encrypted.
