How do I gauge the impact of enabling NVE or NAE on an existing system?

1. Use the headroom capability on the system as is (no encryption) to note where the existing performance is.
2. Add an NVE or NAE volume (or convert an existing volume) and use the headroom capability once more to see what changes.

Note: Remember that NVE is per volume; therefore, you can encrypt or create one at a time based on the headroom and impact.
