Virtual Volume CA Tape Encryption Interface

Any tape, virtual or physical, can be encrypted with CA Tape Encryption. If encryption is activated system-wide for all tapes, CA Vtape Virtual Volumes will be encrypted when written by the applications.

The AllowBTEencryptionForVVE attribute in the Dynamic Options Section of the CA Vtape OSPARMS parmlib member, allows you control whether Virtual Volumes are encrypted by CA Tape Encryption.

Note: For a detailed description of this attribute, see the chapter “The Parameter Library (PARMLIB).”
