Encryption group and HA cluster maintenance 6 • Each encryption group registers the missing members as "offline". • The isolation of N3 from the original encryption group breaks the HA cluster and failover capability between N3 and N1. • You cannot configure any CryptoTargets, LUN policies, tape pools, or security parameters on any of the group leaders. This would require communication with the "offline" member nodes. You cannot start any re-key operations (auto or manual) on any of the nodes. Refer to the section"Configuration impact of encryption group split or node isolation" on page 194 for more information on which configuration changes are allowed. Recovery 1. Restore the connection between the nodes in the separate encryption group islands, that is, between nodes N3, N4 and between nodes N1 and N2. When the lost connection is restored, an automatic split recovery process begins. The two group leaders (N3 and N2 in this example) arbitrate the recovery, and the group leader node with the highest WWN becomes group leader. If the number of nodes in each group is not equal, the group leader for the group with the largest number of members becomes group leader. 2. After the encryption group enters the converged state, execute the cryptocfg --commit command on the group leader node to distribute the crypto-device configuration from the group leader to all member nodes.
