OPERANDS
The cryptoCfg transaction management function has the following operands:
--help transcfg
--commit
--transabort transaction_ID
--transshow
FUNCTION
6. Device decommissioning
SYNOPSIS
cryptocfg --help -decommission
cryptocfg --decommission -container container_name
-initiator initiatator _PWWN -LUN LUN_num
cryptocfg --delete -decommissionedkeyids
cryptocfg --show -decommissionedkeyids
cryptocfg --show -vendorspecifickeyid key_ID
DESCRIPTION
Use these cryptoCfg commands to decommission a disk LUN in the event that the storage device is to
be reprovisioned, retired, or returned to the vendor. The decommission function renders all data on the
disk media inaccessible before decommissioning the device.
Device decommissioning deletes or renders invalid all important information including keys stored in the
key vault, on the chip, and from the various internal caches, and it erases the metadata on the media to
ensure that the data on the decommissioned device is irrecoverable.
The following restrictions apply to device decommissioning:

Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1001764-01
Displays the synopsis for the transaction management function.
Commits the transaction. This command saves the defined configuration to
nonvolatile storage. Changes are persistent across reboots and power cycles.
This command overwrites existing configuration parameters and therefore
prompts for confirmation. This command is permitted only when the encryption
group is in a converged state.
The following operand is optional:
-force
Commits the transaction without confirmation.
Aborts a pending database transaction for any device configurations invoked
earlier through the CLI or DCFM interfaces. The following operand is required:
transaction_ID
Specifies the ID of the transaction to be aborted. Use the --transshow command
to determine the currently pending transaction ID.
Displays the pending database transaction for any device configurations invoked
earlier through the CLI or DCFM interfaces. The command displays the
transaction status (completed or pending), the transaction ID, and the transaction
owner (CLI or DCFM)
Devices not encrypted on the Brocade Encryption platform or devices in cleartext cannot be
decommissioned with this command.
All nodes in the encryption group must run Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later.
Device decommissioning does not work across a reboot. Rebooting terminates an ongoing
decommissioning process and the command must be reissued after completing the reboot.
