6.EVFS encryption and decryption must be enabled on the target volume also. Use the evfsadm stat -a or evfsvol display evfs_volume_path command to verify that EVFS is enabled on the target volume. In this example, /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6 is a spare EVFS volume that will be used as the backup target device:

#evfsvol display /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6

7.Create encrypted backup media by using dd to copy the entire volume to a second EVFS volume that is also enabled.

For example:

#dd bs=64k if=/dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup of=/dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6

8.Disable the EVFS backup volume to begin the procedure to return the backup volume to its original state. For example:

#evfsvol disable -k mykey /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup

The evfsvol utility prompts you for the passphrase if a stored passphrase does not exist.

9.Unmap EVFS volume using the evfsadm unmap command. For example:

#evfsadm unmap /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup

10.Merge the backup volume back with the original LVM volume using the lvmerge command. For example:

#lvmerge /dev/vg01/lvol5backup /dev/vg01/lvol5

Example

In the following example, the administrator splits the /dev/vg01/lvol5 mirror volume and creates the /dev/vg01/lvol5backup volume. The target is the EVFS volume/dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6. The dd command receives cleartext from the source EVFS volume and the target EVFS volume encrypts the data.

#lvsplit –s backup /dev/vg01/lvol5 (LVM creates the /dev/vg01/lvol5backup volume.)

#evfsvol map /dev/vg01/lvol5backup

#evfsvol check -r /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup

#evfsvol enable -k mykey /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup (evfsvol prompts for

a passphrase if there is no stored passphrase.)

#evfsvol display /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6 (Verify that the target EVFS volume is enabled)

#dd bs=64k if=/dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup of=/dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6

#evfsvol disable -k mykey /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup (evfsvol prompts for

a passphrase if there is no stored passphrase)

#evfsadm unmap /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup

#lvmerge /dev/vg01/lvol5backup /dev/vg01/lvol5
