Re-Keying All Disk Luns Manually - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c User Manual

Re-keying all disk LUNs manually

The encryption management application allows you to perform a manual re-key operation on all
encrypted primary disk LUNs and all non-replicated disk LUNs hosted on the encryption node that
are in the read-write state.
Manual re-keying of all LUNs might take an extended period of time. The management application
allows manual re-key of no more than 10 LUNs concurrently. If the node has more than 10 LUNs,
additional LUN re-key operations will remain in the pending state until others have finished.
The following conditions must be satisfied for the manual re-key operation to run successfully:
•

•
In addition to providing the ability to launch manual re-key operations, the management application
also enables you to monitor their progress.
To re-key all disk LUNs on an encryption node, complete these steps:
1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar.
2. Select the switch on which to perform a manual re-key from the Encryption Center Devices
