Adding target tape LUNs for encryption

Configuring Storage Arrays

The Storage Array contains a list of storage ports that will be used later in the LUN centric view. You
must assign storage ports from the same storage array for multi-path I/O purposes. On the LUN
centric view, storage ports in the same storage array are used to get the associated CryptoTarget
containers and initiators from the database. Storage ports that are not assigned to any storage
array but are within the fabrics of the encryption group will be listed as a single target port on the
LUN centric view. Storage Arrays are configured using the Storage Port Mapping dialog box. You will
need to:

For more detailed information on creating a crypto target container, refer to the chapter describing
storage arrays in this administrator's guide.

Adding target tape LUNs for encryption

You configure a Crypto LUN by adding the LUN to the CryptoTarget container and enabling the
encryption property on the Crypto LUN. You must add LUNs manually. After you add the LUNs, you
must specify the encryption settings.
When configuring a LUN with multiple paths, the same LUN policies must be configured on all
paths to the LUN. If there are multiple paths to the same physical LUNs, then the LUNs are added
to multiple target containers (one target per storage device port).
1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar.
2. Select a group, switch, or engine from the Encryption Center Devices table that contains the

Configure target and zone initiator ports in the same zone in order for the target container to
come online and discover LUNs in the storage system.
Create CryptoTarget containers for each target port in the storage array from the Target
Container dialog box. Add initiator ports to the container. You must create target containers for
those target ports in the configured storage arrays or unassigned target ports before mapping
any LUN on the LUN centric view. If you do not create the container, LUN discovery will not
function.

task bar, or right-click a group, switch, or engine and select Targets.
NOTE
You can also select a group, switch, or engine from the Encryption Center Devices table, then
