Enabling the encryption engine

Enabling the encryption engine
Enable the encryption engine by entering the cryptocfg --enableEE command. Provide a slot
number if the encryption engine is a blade.
NOTE
Every time a Brocade Encryption Switch or DCX Backbone chassis containing one or more FS8-18
blades goes through a power cycle event, or after issuing slotpoweroff <slot number> followed by
slotpoweron <slot number> for an FS8-18 blade in the DCX Backbone chassis, the encryption
engine must be enabled manually by the Security Administrator. Hosts cannot access the storage
LUNs through the storage paths exposed on this Brocade Encryption Switch or FS8-18 blade until
the encryption engine is enabled. The encryption engine state can viewed using the cryptocfg
--
show -localEE command, or by displaying switch or blade properties from DFCM. An encryption
engine that is not enabled indicates Waiting for Enable EE.
SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --enableEE
Operation succeeded.
Checking encryption engine status
You can verify the encryption engine status at any point in the setup process and get information
about the next required configuration steps or to troubleshoot an encryption engine that behaves in
unexpected ways. Use the cryptocfg
--show -localEE command to check the encryption engine
status.
SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --show -localEE
