Workflow for implementing data encryption

Use the following workflow to implement data encryption on your storage system:

1. If you will use a key management server, configure the key management server first. Several configuration tasks must be performed on the key management server before you can perform the initial configuration of the Encryption License Key feature.

   For details, see Key management server connections.

2. Install the Encryption License Key software.

   For instructions, see Installing the Encryption License Key software.

3. Configure the encryption environmental settings on the storage system.

   For instructions, see Configuring the encryption environmental settings.

4. Create and back up the encryption keys.

   For details, see Creating and backing up encryption keys.

5. Enable encryption on the desired parity groups.

   For instructions, see Enabling encryption on a parity group that does not contain pool volumes.
