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. 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. 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.
