Description
Discussion Text
Information at rest refers to the state of information when it is located on a secondary storage device (e.g., disk drive and tape drive, when used for backups) within an operating system.
Guest operating systems, such as CMS, that are not capable of enabling the hardware encryption available with the 3592 Model E05 tape drive are able to use z/VM facilities that enable the encryption on behalf of the guest. Guest operating systems that do support tape encryption, such as z/OS with proper service, will be able to do so without interference from z/VM.
