Securing Data - IBM DS8880 Series Introduction And Planning Manual

Note: The default setting for this feature is "disabled" and must be enabled for
use through either the DS8000 Storage Management GUI or the DS CLI. If I/O
Priority Manager is enabled on your storage system, you cannot use a zHyperLink
connection.
The I/O Priority Manager maintains statistics for the set of logical volumes in each
performance group that can be queried. If management is performed for the
performance policy, the I/O Priority Manager controls the I/O operations of all
managed performance groups to achieve the goals of the associated performance
policies. The performance group defaults to 0 if not specified. Table 29 lists
performance groups that are predefined and have the associated performance
policies:

Securing data

You can secure data with the encryption features that are supported by the storage
system.
Encryption technology has a number of considerations that are critical to
understand to maintain the security and accessibility of encrypted data. For
example, encryption must be enabled by feature code and configured to protect
data in your environment. Encryption also requires access to at least two external
key servers.
It is important to understand how to manage IBM encrypted storage and comply
with IBM encryption requirements. Failure to follow these requirements might
