Important
To use Spectra SKLM encryption key management with your library, all LTO-5 drives
in the encrypted partition must use firmware version C7RC or later. LTO-6, LTO-7,
and TS11x0 technology drives can use any firmware supported by the library.
Important
To use KMIP encryption key management the library must use BlueScale12.7.01 or
later, all LTO-6 drives in the encrypted partition must use firmware version G352 or
later, and LTO-7 drives in the partition must use firmware version G5S2 or later.
