Engine Operations tab
The Engine Operations tab (Figure 12) enables you to replace an encryption engine in an
encryption group with another encryption engine within a DEK Cluster environment. A DEK Cluster
is a set of encryption engines that encrypt the same target storage device. DEK Clusters do not
display in DCFM, they are an internal implementation feature and have no user-configurable
properties.
NOTE
You cannot replace an encryption engine if it is part of an HA Cluster. For information about HA
Clusters, refer to “HA Clusters tab” on page 25.
