Applies to

  • NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE)
  • NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)
  • Onboard Key Manager (OKM)

Answer

  • No, enabling Encryption will activate NVE (Software-based Encryption).
  • NSE requires the use of FIPS drives or disks compatible with SED, and you need to enable OKM or an external Key Manager.
