1.2.1 Encryption Restrictions
This section describes encryption restrictions.
• If encryption has never been enabled and you do not plan to use it in the future, secure encrypted
drives (SED) can be mixed with unencrypted (non-SED) drives in the same node.
• If encryption was never enabled and remains disabled, encrypted nodes can be mixed with
unencrypted nodes in the same cluster.
• Encryption is not supported for NVMe drives.
• All nodes in the cluster must have SED capable drives to use hardware SED encryption.
NOTE: If SED drives are mixed with non-SED drives, the encryption cannot be enabled for that cluster.
An encryption key must be removed from the SED drives from Prism before you format (clear) the SED
drives.
