Refer to the 3592 PSP bucket for the APAR and PTF numbers applicable for each release. An enabling PTF exists to provide full device support for the encryption-capable TS1120 tape drive. Installation of the appropriate enabling PTF pulls in all of the needed support PTFs and indicates to the system that all of the needed software support is installed. Support for z/OS V1R6 and z/OS V1R7 will be provided first with support for z/OS V1R8 and z/OS V1R4 and V1R5 following after the initial GA. For z/OS V1R6 and V1R7, refer to enabling APAR OA15685. For z/OS V1R8, refer to enabling APAR OA17562 and for z/OS V1R4 and V1R5, refer to enabling APAR OA18111. With this split GA, in an OAMplex or an HSMplex, before using the encryption-capable TS1120 tape drive, ensure that the appropriate support is available and installed at all of the release levels used in the plex.

In addition, as appropriate for your environment and release level, determine what coexistence PTFs are needed for your environment.
