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).
