Re-keying all disk LUNs manually

The encryption management application allows you to perform a manual re-key operation on all

encrypted primary disk LUNs and all non-replicated disk LUNs hosted on the encryption node that

are in the read-write state.

Manual re-keying of all LUNs might take an extended period of time. The management application

allows manual re-key of no more than 10 LUNs concurrently. If the node has more than 10 LUNs,

additional LUN re-key operations will remain in the pending state until others have finished.

The following conditions must be satisfied for the manual re-key operation to run successfully:

• The node on which you perform the manual re-key operation must be a member of an

encryption group, and that encryption group must have a key vault configured.

• The node must be running Fabric OS 7.0.0 or later.

• The encryption group must be in the converged state.

• The target container that hosts the LUN must be online.

In addition to providing the ability to launch manual re-key operations, the management application

also enables you to monitor their progress.

To re-key all disk LUNs on an encryption node, complete these steps:

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

The Encryption Center dialog box displays (Figure 153).

2. Select the switch on which to perform a manual re-key from the Encryption Center Devices

table, then select Switch > Re-Key All from the menu task bar, or right-click the switch and

select Re-Key All (Figure 262).

If REPL support is enabled on the encryption group, a confirmation dialog box displays, asking

whether to also re-key mirror LUNs.

3. Click Yes to includes mirror LUNs. Click No to exclude mirror LUNs.

A critical warning message appears, requesting confirmation to proceed with the re-key

operation (Figure 263).
