Encryption Targets dialog box

The Encryption Targets dialog box enables you to send outbound data that you want to store as

ciphertext to an encryption device. The encryption device acts as a virtual target when receiving

data from a host, and as a virtual initiator when writing the encrypted data to storage.

To access the Encryption Targets dialog box, complete the following steps.

1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu bar.

The Configure Encryption dialog box displays, showing the status of all encryption-related

hardware and functions.

2. Select the encryption group, switch, or encryption engine to perform the encryption from the

Configure Encryption dialog box.

3. Click Encryption Targets.

The Encryption Targets dialog (Figure 16) box displays the targets currently being encrypted by

the selected group or switch. If a group is selected, all configured targets in the group are

displayed. If a switch is selected, all configured targets for the switch are displayed.

The Encryption Targets dialog box enables you to launch a variety of wizards and other related

dialog boxes, which are defined in Table 4.
