Redirection zones

It is recommended that you zone the host and target together before configuring them for

encryption. Configuring a host/target pair for encryption normally creates a re-direction zone to

redirect the host-target traffic through the encryption engine. But redirection zones can only be

created if the host and target are already zoned. If the host and target are not already zoned, you

can still configure them for encryption, but afterward you will need to zone the host and target

together, and then click the Commit button to create the re-direction zones as a separate step.

NOTE

If you click the Commit button and the encryption group is busy, you are given the option to force the

commit or abort the changes. Click the Commit button to re-create the redirection zones.

Hosts button Launches the Encryption Target Hosts dialog box, where you can

configure hosts to access the selected encryption target.

LUNs button Launches the Encryption Target LUNs dialog box, where you can display

existing LUNs and add new LUNs. The button is enabled only if there are

hosts associated with the targets.

Commit button Commits LUN changes, including adding, removing, or modifying disk or

tape LUNs.

If there are multiple paths to the same physical LUNs, then the LUNs are

added to multiple target containers (one target per storage device port).

When adding, modifying, or removing multi-pathed LUNs, make the

same changes in all target containers, and then click Commit to apply all

the changes at once. This keeps the LUN settings consistent on each

path.

There is a limit of 25 LUN changes, including adding, modifying, or

removing LUNs, per Commit operation.

Note: The Commit button can also be used to re-create any redirection

zones that were accidentally modified or removed.

Abort button Aborts all transactions that have been configured but are not yet

committed.

Properties button Launches the Encryption Target Properties dialog box.

Refresh button Refreshes the displayed data from the database maintained on the

server. It does not collect new information from the hardware switches.
