FIGURE 329 Encryption Group Properties dialog box - General tab

The dialog box contains the following information:

• Encryption Group Name: The name of the encryption group

• Group Status: The status of the encryption group. Options are:

• OK-Converged: The group leader can communicate with all members

• Degraded: The group leader cannot contact one or more of the configured group

members. When the group is in a degraded state, many operations are not permitted,

including configuring targets, hosts, LUNs, HA clusters, and tape pools.

• Deployment Mode: The group’s deployment mode, which is transparent mode

• Failback Mode: Identifies the group’s failback mode. Options are: Automatic and Manual.

Failback mode can be changed by clicking on the field and selecting the desired mode.

The HA Failback option determines the behavior when a failed encryption engine is

restarted. When one encryption engine in an HA cluster fails, the second encryption

engine in the HA cluster takes over the encryption and decryption of traffic to all

encryption targets in the first encryption engine.
