Workflow for enabling data encryption

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

Use the following process to enable data encryption on a parity group:

1. Create the secondary backups of the data encryption keys.

For details, see Workflow for creating secondary backups of the data encryption keys.

2. Block the LDEVs in the parity group to be encrypted.

For details, see the Provisioning Guide for your storage system.

3. Enable data encryption on the parity group.

For details, see Enabling data encryption.

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