Using the Encryption Targets dialog box

Using the Encryption Targets dialog box
The Encryption Targets dialog box enables you to send outbound data that you want to store as
ciphertext to an encryption device. The encryption target acts as a virtual target when receiving
data from a host, and as a virtual initiator when writing the encrypted data to storage.
To access the Encryption Targets dialog box, complete the following steps.
1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar.
2. Select a group, switch, or engine from the Encryption Center Devices table, then select

Redirection zones

It is recommended that you configure the host and target in the same zone before you configure
them for encryption. Doing so creates a redirection zone to redirect the host/target traffic through
the encryption engine; however, a redirection zone can only be created if the host and target are in
the same zone. If the host and target are not already configured in the same zone, you can
configure them for encryption, but you will still need to configure them in the same zone, which will
then enable you to create the redirection zone as a separate step.
