Is it possible to tune the volume encryption conversion process?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)
- NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE)
Answer
- No. The volume encryption conversion process runs single threaded per volume.
- ONTAP will give priority to data access operations over the volume encryption conversion process.
- As the preference is given to data access over the encryption process, the conversion process may take a long time depending on the size of the data set that is under conversion.
- It is not possible to predict how long encrypting or decrypting a volume or aggregate will take.
