Option 2: Converting a Volume with Existing Data to an EVFS Volume (Inline Encryption)

This section describes how to convert existing data on a volume into an EVFS Volume. This section addresses the following topics:

“Step 1: Preparing the File System and Data” (page 66)

“Step 2: Performing Inline Encryption” (page 67)

“Step 3: Verifying the Configuration” (page 69)

“Step 4: (Optional) Configuring the Autostart Feature” (page 72)

“Step 5: Backing Up Your Configuration” (page 74)

Before using this procedure, you must complete the tasks in Chapter 3 (page 35).

IMPORTANT: To use inline encryption, 3 MB of spare disk space are required at the end of the volume, and the minimum volume size must be 4 MB. If the entire volume is used, extend the volume using lvextend for LVM, or vxassist for VXVM.
