Switch removal impact
Switch configuration
Impact of removal
The switch is the only switch in the
encryption group.
The encryption group is also removed.
The switch has configured encryption
targets on encryption engines.
•
The switch is configured to encrypt traffic to one or more encryption
targets.
•
The target container configuration is removed.
•
The encrypted data remains on the encryption target but is not
usable until the encryption target is manually configured on another
encryption switch.
CAUTION
The encryption target data is visible in encrypted format
to zoned hosts. It is strongly recommended that you
remove the encryption targets from all zones before you
disable encryption. Otherwise, hosts might corrupt the
encrypted data by writing directly to the encryption
target without encryption.
The switch has encryption engines in
HA clusters.
The HA clusters are removed. High availability is no longer provided to the
other encryption engine in each HA cluster.
