Members tab Remove button
You can click the Remove button to remove a selected switch or group from the encryption group
table.
• You cannot remove the Group Leader unless it is the only switch in the group. If you remove the
Group Leader, BNA also removes the HA cluster, the target container, and the tape pool (if
configured) that are associated with the switch.
• If you remove a switch from an encryption group, BNA also removes the HA cluster and target
container associated with the switch.
NOTE
If the encryption group is in a degraded state, BNA does not remove the HA clusters or target
containers associated with the switch. In this case, a pop-up error message displays.
• If you remove the last switch from a group, BNA also deletes the group.
Consequences of removing an encryption switch
The consequences of removing a switch from an encryption group are as follows:
• All configured targets on the switch are deleted from the switch’s configuration.
• Any encryption being performed by the switch is halted.
• If the removed switch was in an HA cluster, the switch can no longer provide HA support. HA
clusters that contained the encryption engine from the removed switch are deleted.
The consequences of removing the last switch in a group (which will be the Group Leader) are all
switch removal consequences noted above, plus the following:
• The encryption group is deleted.
• All configured tape pools are deleted.
Table 2 explains the impact of removing switches.

Switch configuration Impact of removal
The switch is the only switch in the
encryption group. The encryption group is also removed.
