Force-enabling a disabled disk LUN for encryption

You can force a disk LUN to become enabled for encryption when encryption is disabled on the
LUN. A LUN may become disabled for various reasons, such as a change in policy from encrypt to
cleartext when encrypted data (and metadata) exist on the LUN, a conflict between LUN policy and
LUN state, or a missing DEK in the key vault. Force-enabling a LUN while metadata exist on the LUN
may result in a loss of data and should be exercised with caution. Refer to Chapter 6,
troubleshooting"
and for recommendations on re-enabling the LUN while minimizing the risk of data loss.
This procedure must be performed on the local switch that is hosting the LUN. No commit is
required to force-enable after executing this command.
1. Log in to the switch that hosts the LUN as Admin or FabricAdmin.
2. Enter the cryptocfg
