3.8 Settings for LUKS

This section explains the procedures that the user must perform when using LUKS.

3.8.1 Notes on Using LUKS

The followings are notes on using LUKS:

HDLM supports LUKS on the following OSs:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 Advanced Platform.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Advanced Platform.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 Advanced Platform.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 Advanced Platform.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

LUKS is not available in an environment where an HDLM device is used as a boot

disk.

To set up LUKS on an HDLM device, execute the

/sbin/cryptsetup

command, which is the same way as setting up LUKS on SCSI devices.

When using LUKS on an HDLM device, enter the HDLM device's device file

name in the

/etc/crypttab

file's second field.
