Encryption behavior

• HP recommends that the encrypted LUN containers be created when all of the nodes/encryption

engines (EEs) in the Data Encryption Key (DEK)/High Availability Cluster (HAC) are up and enabled.

• If two Encryption Engines are part of a High Availability Cluster, configure the host/target pair

such that they form a multipath from both EEs. Avoid connecting both the host/target pairs to

the same EE. This connectivity does not give full redundancy in case of EE failure resulting in

HAC failover.

• Since the quorum disk plays a vital role in keeping the cluster in sync, configure the quorum

disk to be outside of the encryption environment.

• LUN configuration

• To configure a LUN for encryption:

• Add the LUN as clear-text to the Crypto Target Container (CTC).

• When the LUN comes online and the clear-text host I/O starts, modify the LUN from clear-

text to encrypted, including the enable_encexistingdata option to convert the LUN

from clear-text to encrypted.

• An exception to this LUN configuration process: If the LUN was previously encrypted by the

HP Encryption Switch or HP Encryption Blade, the LUN can be added to the CTC with the

–encrypt and –lunstate =“encrypted” options.

• LUN configurations must be committed to take effect. No more than 25 LUNs can be added

or modified in a single commit operation. Attempts to commit configurations that exceed 25

LUNs will fail with a warning. There is also a five-second delay before the commit operation

takes effect.
