In-band proxy for TS1120 z/OS DFSMS Software Support for IBM System Storage TS1140, TS1130, and TS1120 Tape Drives (3592) SC23-6854-00 |
|
The in-band z/OS proxy allows key management information to be
exchanged with a tape drive over existing ESCON/FICON, instead of
requiring the deployment of a secondary IP network. The reliability
and physical security of the existing I/O attachments is one reason
that you may choose to use the in-band key management path to the
Encryption Key Manager. The z/OS proxy interface communicates with
the tape drive (through the control unit) in the current data path
and then uses a TCP/IP connection to communicate with the Encryption
Key Manager.
Note: APAR OA22271 added support for IPv6. This
support was added after the initial tape encryption support for the
TS1120.
