Problem

Tapes encrypted by Q-EKM cannot be read by third party library

Solution

Quantum Encryption Key Manager is a third party solution to manage hardware based encryption on tape libraries.  Management software is supplied by Quantum.

If encrypted tapes are to be restored on a different library to the one that wrote the images, the library and drives must be supported by Q-EKM and configured within Q-EKM management software.  

The configuration is transparent to Netbackup.
