BES removal and replacement

Multi Node EG Case

The following procedure uses Brocade Encryption Switch (BES) 3 as the BES to be removed from an
encryption group with the group leader designated as BES1. Two scenarios are considered:
•
•
When BES3 has failed, complete the following steps:
1. Deregister BES3 from the encryption group.

that entire encryption group is in the converged and In Sync states.
NOTE
Because the FS8-18 blade was inserted to the same slot as the previous one, no change of
HAC container ownership is required. The HAC configuration is retained as is. If manual
failback was set on the HAC, then user intervention is required to manually failback the LUNs
owned by the newly replaced encryption engine. There is no change in crypto-target container
ownership. The container ownerships are retained as is.
