Rex,
I don't know of a need to make any changes to CBRUXENT for what you are planning on doing, especially if all the TS1120 drives inside the robot and encryption capable. Even if a TS1120 is EJECTED (to go offsite) and is then returned (INSERTED) and the VOLCAT (TCDB) entry for that specific volume had been deleted after it had been EJECTED it won't make a difference. If the INSERT assigns it to a non-encrypted Data Class, that will not affect it's ability to be read on any of the TS1120 drives inside the robot. If some of your drives were the original 3592 non-encryption drives; that might be an issue. But since all your existing TS1120 drives are already encryption-capable - no problem. Likewise there is no need for two separate ranges of tapes. Doesn't matter if volume V12345 was originally a non-encrypted tape, then was used for encryption and later was used-again (after going scratch of course) as a non-encrypted tape. Just like Virtual-WORM and Replication. If controlled by Data Class it can switch on and off, so each usage is different.

We haven't used encryption up to this point, but are trying to get encryption started. We don't want to encrypt everything going to the TS1120s, but want to, for example, encrypt our backup tapes, but leave our HSM ML2 tapes unencrypted. We also obviously need to read older unencrypted tapes. From reading several manuals, I thought I would need to set up a new data class specifying EEFMT2 as the data format instead of the EFMT2 format we are currently using. The doc also seemed to indicate that I could use the same physical library and drives to read/write both data formats. It appears as though I need to make changes to the CBRUXENT OAM exit to allow use of encrypted tape format. Is this correct? Do I need to set a range of tapes to be used solely for encryption and a separate range for unencrypted tapes? Do I need to define which tapes will be used for encryption ahead of time and define that into the CBRUXENT exit? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
