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, Brocade Network Advisor 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, Brocade Network Advisor also removes the
HA cluster and target container associated with the switch.

NOTE

If the encryption group is in a degraded state, Brocade Network Advisor 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, Brocade Network Advisor 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.
