182 Fabric OS Encryption Administrator’s Guide (DPM)

SRDF LUNs
3
CAUTION
Do not add a node running an earlier Fabric OS version to an encryption group that is running
version 6.4.0 or later if remote replication is enabled. Also, be aware that a Fabric OS 6.4.0
configuration file is not blocked from being downloaded to a node running an earlier Fabric OS
version.
Adding replication LUNs
Replication LUNs must be added to the container with the -newLUN option. Replication mode
needs to be enabled prior to adding replication LUNs with
-newLUN option, using the
cryptocfg
--set -replication enable command. The primary LUN and all mirror LUNs need to be
added to their respective containers with the
-newLUN option.
From the standpoint of the encryption switch or blade, the local and remote copies of the LUN are
configured in different encryption groups. From the DPM perspective, DPM clusters at local and
remote encryption groups must be configured as part of the same DPM cluster group.
Rekey operations for replicated LUNs
Auto rekey is disabled for replicated LUNs. Sync between primary LUNs and mirror LUNs should be
disabled before starting manual rekey on primary LUNs. If sync is not disabled, the mirror LUN will
be disabled for host access. Once the primary LUN rekey is completed, the sync can be performed
between the primary (R1) and mirror (R2) LUN. Manual rekey works only on primary LUNs. Mirror
LUNs can be converted to primary LUNs by performing a manual rekey with the
-include_mirror
option.
Be aware that when an individual primary LUN is rekeyed using the
-include_mirror option, no
warning message is displayed prior to the rekey occurring.
If a rekey is invoked using the
-include_mirror option, and the LUN is not a mirror LUN or a
read-only primary LUN, the rekey operation acts as usual.
NOTE
cryptocfg --manual_rekey -all -include_mirror rekeys all the primary and mirror LUNs, not just
mirror LUNs and out-of-sync primary LUNs. Enter only cryptocfg
--manual_rekey -all if you want to
rekey only out-of-sync primary LUNs. The
-include_mirror option is ignored if the command applies
only to a primary LUN.
Reading metadata after sync
The cryptocfg --refreshDEK command can be used to perform a read of the metadata and
reprogram the encryption tables with a new encryption key. After a sync from rekeyed primary LUN
to the mirror LUN, performing cryptocfg
--refreshDEK will obtain the latest encryption keys for the
primary LUN and configure that for encryption and decryption of the mirror LUN.
NOTE
For all multi-path LUN environments, it is critical to ensure that the target port settings (for example,
os2007 bit, or spc-2 bit) for all paths to a given LUN are configured identically.
