Adding Encryption Targets - Brocade Communications Systems 1606 Administrator's Manual

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.
2. Select the encryption group, switch, or encryption engine to which you want to add the target.
3. Select Targets.
4. Click Add.
