Error description
IBM OEM tape encryption solutions by NEC, SpectraLogic, and Fujitsu use Application Method Encryption (AME). These solutions used with the device class setting DRIVEENCRYPT=ALLOW will result in encryption being disabled by the server. However, there is no indication on the server to warn users of this situation. This APAR will add a warning message when this situation is detected: 1. The drive is configured for AME 2. The drive has encryption enabled 3. The device class is set to DRIVEENCRYPT=ALLOW In the above situation, the server will currently disable encryption, while this behavior is as designed, it should also provide a warning message of this action. This APAR will add a warning message for this situation.
Local fix
IBM OEM tape encryption solutions (by NEC, SpectraLogic, and Fujitsu) that require drives to be configured with AME (not LME or SME), need to use the server device class setting of DRIVEENCRYPT=EXTERNAL and should NOT use DRIVEENCRYPT=ALLOW.
