Engine Operations tab

The Engine Operations tab enables you to replace an encryption engine in an encryption switch
with another encryption engine in another switch within a DEK Cluster environment. A DEK Cluster
is a set of encryption engines that encrypt the same target storage device. DEK Clusters do not
display in the Management application, they are an internal implementation feature and have no
user-configurable properties. Refer to
page 390.
NOTE
You cannot replace an encryption engine if it is part of an HA Cluster. For information about HA
Clusters, refer to
