Disk device decommissioning

NOTE
The key IDs that were used for encrypting the data are returned.
When disk LUNs are decommissioned, the decommissioned keys are still stored on the switch. In
order to delete them from the switch, you must view them from the Decommissioned Key IDs dialog
box. (Refer to
.)
When a device decommission operation fails on the encryption group leader for any reason, the
crypto configuration remains uncommitted until a user-initiated commit or a subsequent device
decommission operation issued on the encryption group leader completes successfully. Device
decommission operations should always be issued from a committed configuration. If not, the
operation will fail with the error message An outstanding transaction is pending in Switch/EG. If
this occurs, you can resolve the problems by committing the configuration from the encryption
group leader.
Provided that the crypto configuration is not left uncommitted because of any crypto configuration
changes or a failed device decommission operation issued on a encryption group leader node, this
error message will not be seen for any device decommission operation issued serially on an
encryption group member node. If more than one device decommission operation is attempted in
an encryption group from member nodes simultaneously, this error message is transient and will
go away after device decommission operation is complete. If the device decommissioning
operation fails, retry the operation after some time has passed.
Decommissioning Disk LUNs
Use the following procedure to decommission a disk LUN.
1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar to display the Encryption Center
dialog box. (Refer to
2. Select a group, switch, or engine from the Encryption Center Devices table that contains the
storage device to be configured, then select Group/Switch/Engine > Targets from the menu
task bar.
NOTE
You can also select a group, switch, or engine from the Encryption Center Devices table, then
click the Targets icon.
The Encryption Targets dialog box displays. (Refer to
3. Select a Target storage device from the list, then click LUNs.
The Encryption Target Disk LUNs dialog box displays. (Refer to
.)
