Yep,
Go into TAPEUTIL (which can be run in batch as well).  You will see the
options.

Instructions:
Mount the tape in the drive using mtlib
Run TAPEUTIL to open, DSE it, and unload it.
Use mtlib to dismount the tape.

Subject: AIX support for ERASING a tape


Our STK 9840 tape drives are attached to an AIX host.

The 9840 drives support the SCSI DSE command (Data Security Erase). DSE has
to be issued by software.

Anybody know of a utility I can run on AIX that will let me issue that
command to a tape drive?
