General tab

The properties displayed in the General tab are described below.

• Encryption group name - the name of the encryption group.

• Group status - the status of the encryption group, which can be OK-Converged or Degraded.

Degraded means the group leader cannot contact all of the configured group members.

• Deployment mode - the group’s deployment mode, which is transparent.

• Failback mode - The group’s failback mode, which can be automatic or manual. For Fabric OS

versions earlier than 6.2.0, the failback mode must be set manually using the CLI.

• Key vault - the vault type, either RSA Key Manager (RKM) NetApp Lifetime Key Manager (LKM),

HP Secure Key Manager (SKM), or nCipher Key Authority (NCKA).

• Primary key vault IP address - The IP address of the primary key vault, either IPv4 or host

name.

• Backup key vault IP address - the IP address of the backup key vault.

• Primary key vault certificate - the details of the primary vault certificate; for example, version

and signature information.

• Backup key vault certificate - the details of the backup vault certificate; for example, version

and signature information.

Members tab

The Group Members tab lists group switches, their role, and their connection status with the group

leader. The tab displays the configured membership for the group (none of the table columns are

editable). The list can be different from the members displayed in the Encryption Center dialog box

if some configured members are unmanaged, missing, or in a different group.

Possible Connection Status values are as follows:

• Group Leader - this switch is the group leader so there is no connection status.

• Trying to Contact - the member is not responding to the group leader. This may occur if the

member switch is not reachable by way of the management port, or if the member switch does

not believe it is part of the encryption group.

• Configuring - the member switch has responded and the group leader is exchanging

information. This is a transient condition that exists for a short time after a switch is added or

restored to a group.

• 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.
