z/OS software support for the encryption-capable TS1120 tape drive

z/OS DFSMS Software Support for IBM System Storage TS1140, TS1130, and TS1120 Tape Drives (3592)
SC23-6854-00

Use z/OS® software with the encryption-capable TS1120 tape drive to protect your data with the IBM System Storage family of tape media and the EEFMT2 recording technology. Table 1 describes the software support changes for the new encryption-capable TS1120 tape drive.
Table 1. Components that provide software support for the encryption-capable TS1120 tape drive
Component Function
DFSMSdfp AMS AMS commands, CREATE VOLUMEENTRY, ALTER VOLUMEENTRY, DCOLLECT, and LISTCAT are changed to support the new EEFMT2 recording technology for encryption. One new subparameter, EEFMT2, for the parameter RECORDING, has been added for CREATE VOLUMEENTRY and ALTER VOLUMEENTRY. AMS allows the use of the new EEFMT2 recording technology, as well as the printing and displaying of information about the recording technology.
DFSMSdfp Device Services Device Services manages the IBM System Storage Tape System devices.
DFSMSdfp ISMF The ISMF Data Class Application and Mountable Tape Volume Application panels have been enhanced to allow the specification of a new value (EE2 for EEFMT2) in the Recording Technology Format field. A new panel (DGTDCDC8) will be displayed to allow the specification of key labels and encoding mechanisms.
DFSMSdfp NaviQuest NaviQuest sample jobs and CLISTs have been updated to support tape encryption in the data class.
DFSMSdfp OAM OAM tape library support allows the use of the new EEFMT2 recording technology and IBM System Storage family of tape media in the IBM 3494 and 3584 Automated Tape library and in the manual tape library. OAM object tape support allows the use of encryption-capable TS1120 tape drives and media for object-related activity.
DFSMSdfp OCE/IFGOJES3 OCE/IFGOJES3 allows the use of the new EEFMT2 recording technology.
DFSMSdfp SMS SMS allows the use of the new EEFMT2 recording technology. You can specify a data class to require data encryption (EEFMT2) with media types MEDIA5 through MEDIA10. You can also use a data class to specify two new key labels and two new corresponding key encoding mechanisms. Specification of the key labels is optional and is only valid with DISP=NEW and file sequence number 1. Otherwise, it is ignored.
DFSMSdss DFSMSdss ensures that encrypted data dumped to an encryption-capable TS1120 tape drive will not be doubly encrypted, unless the user makes specific arrangements for double-encryption.

DFSMSdss Stand Alone Restore will not read a dump data set that resides on an encrypted tape.

DFSMShsm DFSMShsm allows the use of encryption-capable TS1120 tape drives and media for all DFSMShsm tape related functions:
LIST command
The LIST TTOC SELECT parameters have been extended to take new values EEFMT2 (or EE2), ENCRYPTION (or ENCRYPTED), and NOENCRYPTION (or NOTENCRYPTED).
Tape hardware encryption for DFSMShsm Dump
The DFSMShsm Dump function can now use tape hardware encryption to encrypt dump output. If DUMPCLASS specifies host based encryption (and possibly host based compaction before encryption, known as HWCOMP), but the associated data class specifies tape hardware encryption, DFSMSdss will ignore the request for host based encryption and honor instead the request for tape hardware encryption. The volume's associated DVL record will show whether tape hardware encryption or host based encryption was done.

The LIST DUMPVOL(vol) output includes a new value of THW for the ENC heading indicating the data is Tape Hardware Encrypted.

For z/OS V1R8 and above, LIST COPYPOOL shows a value of THW for a Tape Hardware Encrypted tape.

DFSMSrmm DFSMSrmm records the Key Labels and their encoding mechanism in the Volume record.
DFSORT DFSORT works without change with the IBM System Storage Tape System devices.
EREP EREP provides unique device type information for encryption-capable TS1120 tape drives when formatting LOGREC records.
z/OS Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) Allocation MVS Allocation allows specification of the key labels. It also allows the use of the new EEFMT2 recording technology when using the Dynamic Allocation Text Unit DALINCHG.
z/OS Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) IOS MVS IOS has been updated to support Key Management:
In-band Key Management
If in-band key management is being used, the existing IOS PARMLIB member IECIOSxx will be updated specifying the TCP/IP related information needed to direct the ESCON/FICON proxy to the appropriate Encryption Key Manager. In this case, encryption key management (in-band) is defined for the system through the IOS PARMLIB member.
IOS Proxy Sockets Initialization
You can optionally specify the DNS name or IP address of an Encryption Key Manager (EKM) that will provide the key management functions for the system. The EKM can be designated with a new keyword in the IECIOSxx SYS1.PARMLIB member or as a keyword on the SETIOS operator command.
IECIOSXX Parmlib and SETIOS Commands
You can use the EKM subcommand in parmlib or in the SETIOS console command to specify the host name of the Encryption Key Manager (primary and secondary).
z/OS Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) Scheduler/SJF MVS Scheduler/SJF validates the JCL DD keywords KEYLABL1, KEYLABL2, KEYENCD1, and KEYENCD2, if used.
