Workflow for enabling data encryption on parity groups

The Encryption License Key feature provides data encryption at the parity-group level to protect data on LDEVs.

Use the following process to set up for data encryption and enable data encryption on parity groups:

  1. Back up the secondary data encryption license key.

For more information about backing up secondary keys, see Workflow for backing up secondary data encryption license keys.

  1. Block the LDEVs at the parity-group level, using a file on the HDvM - SN computer.

  1. Enable data encryption on the parity group.

For more information about enabling data encryption on parity groups, see Enabling data encryption at the parity group-level.

  1. Format the LDEVs at the parity-group level.

For more information about formatting LDEVs in the parity group, see Workflow for enabling data encryption on parity groups.
