We have just started migrating clients from our TSM 5.5.3 system to a new AIX P-520 running TSM 6.1.2. This system acts as a library manager sharing our 3494 with our Solaris 5.5.3 system with 8 TS1120 drives. A few minor hiccups until today. A storage pool backup process failed with the following message:
ANR8985E The drive drive name in library library name is using an encryption method that is incompatible with the current server settings. After a lot of searching, I noticed that 11 of the 19 tapes, including the ones that caused the above message, that had been created on the 6.1.2 system had the "Drive Encryption Key Manager" field set to "SYSTEM", from the QUERY VOLUME display. The rest of the tapes show the field set to "NONE", including all of the tapes that have been created by the 5.5.3 system (30-40 tapes). None of our drives have the encryption feature installed, the DEVICEENCRYPTION setting on both systems' device classes is set to ALLOW, the default. I managed to read these 'bad' tapes on the drives they were created on, but tapes without the 'SYSTEM' setting were created on these drives as well. Has anyone else run into this problem, or is there something I'm missing? I've opened an incident with support and will see what happens. Thanks Sam Sheppard San Diego Data Processing Corp.
