Answer

  • Beginning with ONTAP 9.3, you can use the volume encryption conversion start command to enable encryption of an existing volume "in place," without having to move the volume to a different location.
  • In ONTAP 9.2 and earlier, you must use the volume move start command to enable encryption by moving an existing volume.

Note: A volume move does not disrupt client access during the move.
