Advanced encryption group configuration

This section describes advanced configuration options that you can use to modify existing

encryption groups and to recover from problems with one or more member nodes in the group.

All group-wide configuration commands are executed on the group leader. Commands that clear

group-related states from an individual node are executed on the node. Advanced encryption group

configuration commands require Admin or SecurityAdmin permissions.

Removing a node from an encryption group

FIGURE 73 Removing a node from an encryption group

This procedure permanently removes a node from the encryption group. Upon removal, the HA

cluster failover capability and target associations pertaining to the node are no longer present. If

you wish to take a node out of a group without disrupting these relationships, use the cryptocfg

replaceEE command. Refer to the section “Replacing an HA cluster member” on page 132 for

instructions.

The procedure for removing a node depends on the node’s status within an encryption group. HA

cluster membership and Crypto LUN configurations must be cleared before you can permanently

remove a member node from an encryption group.
