Converting plaintext volumes into encrypted volumes

NOTE: The controller must read and rewrite the entire volume in order to complete the conversion process. Conversion may take some time to complete, especially if there is competing drive activity from the host system.

To convert plaintext volumes into encrypted volumes:

1.Open Encryption Manager ("Opening Encryption Manager" on page 33).

2.Log in to Encryption Manager ("Logging into Encryption Manager" on page 33).

3.Under Controller Devices, click Arrays.

4.Select the plaintext volume.
