Adding encryption targets

Adding an encryption target maps storage devices and hosts to virtual targets and virtual initiators

within the encryption switch.

NOTE

You must zone the physical host and physical target together to enable creation of a re-direction

zone. The re-direction zone is used to redirect the host-target traffic through the encryption engine.

Configuring a host/target pair for encryption automatically creates a re-direction zone, but

redirection zones can only be created if the host and target are already zoned. If the host and target

are not already zoned, you can still configure them for encryption, but afterward you will need to

zone the host and target together, and then click the Commit button to create the re-direction zones

as a separate step. If you click the Commit button and the encryption group is busy, you are given

the option to force the commit or abort the changes. If you attempt to close the Encryption Targets

dialog box without committing the changes, you are reminded of uncommitted changes in the

Management application.

1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu bar.

The Encryption Center dialog box displays.

2. Select the encryption group, switch, or encryption engine to which you want to add the target.

Right-click, or select Group, Switch, or Engine from the menu bar.

3. Select Targets.

The Encryption Targets dialog box displays.

4. Click Add.

The Configure Storage Encryption welcome panel displays. The welcome panel explains the

wizard’s purpose, which is to configure encryption for a storage device (target).
