Using the Encryption Targets dialog box

The Encryption Targets dialog box enables you to send outbound data that you want to store as

ciphertext to an encryption device. The encryption target acts as a virtual target when receiving

data from a host, and as a virtual initiator when writing the encrypted data to storage.

To access the Encryption Targets dialog box, complete the following steps.

1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar.

The Encryption Center dialog box displays (Figure 153). The dialog box shows the status of all

encryption-related hardware and functions.

2. Select a group, switch, or engine from the Encryption Center Devices table, then select

Group/Switch/Engine > Targets from the menu task bar, or right-click a group, switch, or

engine and select Targets.

NOTE

You can also select a group, switch, or engine from the Encryption Center Devices table, then

click the Targets icon.

The Encryption Targets dialog box displays (Figure 259). The dialog box lists the targets

currently being encrypted by the selected group, switch, or encryption engine. If a group is

selected, all configured targets in the group are displayed. If a switch is selected, all configured

targets for the switch are displayed.

The Encryption Targets dialog box enables you to launch a variety of wizards and other related

dialog boxes.

Redirection zones

It is recommended that you configure the host and target in the same zone before you configure

them for encryption. Doing so creates a redirection zone to redirect the host/target traffic through

the encryption engine; however, a redirection zone can only be created if the host and target are in

the same zone. If the host and target are not already configured in the same zone, you can

configure them for encryption, but you will still need to configure them in the same zone, which will

then enable you to create the redirection zone as a separate step.
