Encrypting existing data

To encrypt existing data on your storage, you must migrate the data to an encrypted parity group. Use the following process to encrypt existing data.

Procedure

  1. Create a new parity group.

  2. Enable data encryption on the parity group. See Encrypting data.

  3. Format the LDEVs in the encrypted parity group. For instructions, see Provisioning Guide.

  4. Migrate the existing data to the LDEVs in the encrypted parity group. For details about data migration, contact your account team.

  5. After migrating the existing data to the encrypted parity group, shred the unencrypted data (migration source volumes) to prevent the data from being leaked, using the Volume Shredder function.
