Hi Ed, Tape encryption is enabled on z/VM via operands on the ATTACH command. It can also be enabled by setting up the encryption settings with the SET RDEVice command, where they would be picked up automatically on the ATTACH.
Details are available in the appropriate help files, the CP Planning and Administration manual, and a presentation I've given in the past: http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/farman/EXPOTAPE.PDF Hope that helps.

Example the add statement on the 3592 for z/VSE would have a mode of x’0b’ on the add statement. ADD 680:681,TPA,0B I want to set 680 and 681 to be encrypted as default under z/VM.
