Encryption — additional recommendations
• HP recommends that the Crypto Target Containers (CTC) be created when all of the
nodes/encryption engines (EEs) in the Data Encryption Key (DEK)/High Availability Cluster
(HAC) are up and enabled.
• 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 fail with a warning. There is also a five-second delay before the commit
operation takes effect.
Always ensure that any previously committed LUN configurations or LUN modifications
have taken effect before committing additional LUN configurations or additions. All LUNs
should be in an Encryption Enabled state before committing additional LUN modifications.
• LUN Size Expansion consideration (as an example for EVA LUNs): When an EVA LUN is
encrypted, and then needs to be expanded using HP Command View, no additional
configuration is required from the Encryption SAN Switch side. However, make sure not to
change the LUN size while any re-key operation is in progress.
• If an HA Cluster is configured within an Encryption Group with containers configured for auto
failback mode, care must be taken to change the failback mode to "manual" before a firmware
upgrade; this can be set back to "auto" once upgrade is done. See the Fabric OS Encryption
Administrator's Guide v7.0 for additional recommendations and precautions to be followed
during this process.
• Avoid changing the configuration of any LUN that belongs to a CTC/LUN configuration while
the rekeying process for that LUN is active. If you change the LUN settings during manual or
auto, rekeying or First Time Encryption, the system reports a warning message stating that the
encryption engine is busy and a forced commit is required for the changes to take effect. A
