Encryption behavior
HP recommends that the encrypted LUN containers be created when all of the nodes/Encryption
Engines (EE) in the Data Encryption Key (DEK)/High Availability Cluster (HAC) are up and enabled.
If two EEs are part of a HAC, configure the host/target pair such that they form a multipath from
both EEs. Avoid connecting both host/target pairs to the same EE. This connectivity does not
provide full redundancy when EE failure results in HAC failover.
LUN configuration
The following process is to be used then when configuring a LUN for encryption:
Add the LUN as clear-text to the Crypto Target Container (CTC).
When the LUN comes online and clear-text host I/O starts, modify the LUN from clear-text
to encrypt, 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 Crypto Target
Container 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 will fail with a warning. Note that 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.
A new LUN state is available: Disabled (Key not in sync). This new state indicates re-
keying was started on a remote EE but the local EE is not capable of starting rekey because it
does not have the KeyID that was used by the remote EE in re-keying (that is, the newest key returned
from the key vault does not match with the KeyID used by remote EE). You must use the cryptocfg
--discoverLUN <ContainerName> interface to re-enable the LUN only after the keys are
properly synced between two key vaults.
Both VMware and clustering technologies use SCSI reservations to control host I/O access to
LUNs. When the HP Encryption Switch/HP Encryption Blade is performing a rekeying operation
(first time encryption or otherwise), it accommodates the use of this methodology. In deployments
that have multiple physical initiators accessing a target/LUN from an EE, Fabric OS 6.2.1 does
not have the ability to failover FTE/rekey operations within the EE. Therefore, during FTE/Rekey
operations in these environments, only one physical initiator can be allowed to access the tar-
get/LUN combination; this is true for all EEs exposing the LUN. If only one initiator has access to
