Answer

  • No. If the volume was created with encryption enabled, ONTAP makes sure that the data within that volume is encrypted
  • This can be verified with the volume show -is-encrypted true command:

cluster2::> volume show -is-encrypted true

Vserver  Volume  Aggregate  State  Type  Size  Available  Used
-------  ------  ---------  -----  ----  -----  --------- ----
