Encryption behavior
HP recommends that the encrypted LUN containers be created when all of the nodes/Encryption
Engines (EE) in the Data Encryption Key (DEK)/High Availability Cluster (HAC) are up and
enabled.
If two EEs are part of a HAC, configure the host/target pair such that they form a multipath
from both EEs. Avoid connecting both host/target pairs to the same EE. This connectivity does
not provide full redundancy when EE failure results in HAC failover.
LUN configuration
The following process is to be used then when configuring a LUN for encryption:
Add the LUN as clear-text to the Crypto Target Container (CTC).
When the LUN comes online and clear-text host I/O starts, modify the LUN from
clear-text to
encrypt
, 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 Crypto
Target Container 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
