"Correctly enrolled" is only defined in context of a tape you want to read or write to. We are working mainly with Quantum Superloader libraries. My workflow is:

Start Bacula and load a tape
Stop Bacula
Use stenc to load the needed key to the drive
Start Bacula and check if the tape name can be read correctly
