Encryption Group Properties dialog box - Members tab
You cannot remove the group leader unless it is the only switch in the group. If you remove the
group leader, the Management application also removes the HA cluster, the target container,
and the tape pool (if configured) that are associated with the switch.
If you remove a switch from an encryption group, the Management application also removes
the HA cluster and target container associated with the switch.
NOTE
If the encryption group is in a degraded state, the Management application does not remove
the HA clusters or target containers associated with the switch. In this case, a pop-up error
message displays.
If you remove the last switch from a group, the Management application also deletes the
group.
All configured targets on the switch are deleted from the switch's configuration.
Any encryption being performed by the switch is halted.
If the removed switch was in an HA cluster, the switch can no longer provide HA support. HA
clusters that contained the encryption engine from the removed switch are deleted.
