Applies to

  • Astra Trident
  • NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE)
  • NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)

Answer

  • To create NVE volumes, configure Trident backend with "encryption": "true"
    Note: To create NVE volume on NAE aggregate, use Astra Trident 22.10 or later
  • To create NAE volumes, Trident backend should be configured with "encryption": "" 
  • Note:  After making any configuration change to the Trident backend, the backend should be updated one of 3 ways:
    • Bounce (delete) the trident-controller pod
    • tridentctl update backend <backend-name> -n trident -f <backend.json>
    • kubectl edit tbc <tbc-name>  ;  change the encryption parameter and save the file.
