18 Viewing and editing group properties • OK - the member switch is responding to the group leader switch. • Not Available - the group leader is not a managed switch, so connection statuses are not being collected from the group leader. Members tab Remove button You can click the Remove button to remove a selected switch or group from the encryption group table. • You cannot remove the group leader unless it is the only switch in the group. If you remove the group leader, the Management application also removes the HA cluster, the target container, and the tape pool (if configured) that are associated with the switch. • If you remove a switch from an encryption group, the Management application also removes the HA cluster and target container associated with the switch. NOTE If the encryption group is in a degraded state, the Management application does not remove the HA clusters or target containers associated with the switch. In this case, a pop-up error message displays. • If you remove the last switch from a group, the Management application also deletes the group. Consequences of removing an encryption switch Table 34 explains the impact of removing switches. TABLE 34 Switch removal impact Switch configuration Impact of removal The switch is the only switch in the encryption group. The switch has configured encryption targets on encryption engines. The encryption group is also removed. • The switch is configured to encrypt traffic to one or more encryption targets. • The target container configuration is removed. • The encrypted data remains on the encryption target but is not usable until the encryption target is manually configured on another encryption switch. The switch has encryption engines in HA Clusters. CAUTION The encryption target data is visible in encrypted format to zoned hosts. It is strongly recommended that you remove the encryption targets from all zones before you disable encryption. Otherwise, hosts might corrupt the encrypted data by writing directly to the encryption target without encryption. The HA Clusters are removed. High availability is no longer provided to the other encryption engine in each HA Cluster. A warning message displays when you attempt to remove a switch (Figure 271). Click Yes to proceed. 568 Brocade Network Advisor SAN User Manual 53-1002167-01
