Hiya,

Can encryption be enabled if there are non-SEDs in the array ?

We have 192 3.84TiB drives, but only 32 of them are SED capable ... would I be able to enable encryption with such a setup ? Can I isolate encrypted volumes to a CPG that only spans the SEDs maybe ?

Thanks!

First question; Are you even licensed for encryption?
Code:
licenseshow

Not yet ... but if we don't get it as part of the "all you can eat" license model then we'll ask HPE for it.

To my understanding this is a "take all or take none" scenario. You either encrypt something or you encrypt everything as the encryption is done a the physical disk.

Quickspec states:
Quote:
An encrypted HPE 3PAR StoreServ array, i.e. any HPE 3PAR StoreServ array that has the HPE 3PAR Data Encryption license activated or intended to be activated, must have only self-encrypted drives installed.


Encryption license is not part of all-inclusive, most likely due to the fact that HPE is selling that to countries where US companies are not allowed to export cryptography.

Thanks .. answers that question! All drives must be SED.

Might be a business case for a baby 3PAR for applications with encryption requirements.
