Goal

How to set an IBM LTO4/5 drives encryption timeouts on Belisarius cards.

Some accounts may required an extended transaction timeout for a drive to get a key if drives are accessing remote KMA's on the network.
This setting should be increased to 60 seconds for most encryption customers using EMC's RKM solution and not Oracle OKM.
The maximum timeout that can be set is 60 seconds.

This setting was introduced in Bel code 2.35.23 so bel code will need to be at this level or higher.
