Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Netapp Storage Encryption (NSE)
  • Onboard Key Manager (OKM)

Answer

  • ONTAP generates 2 authentication keys on the Onboard Key Manager (OKM) for NSE drives
  • Either can be used to apply to the data key id and / or the fips key id. They are interchangeable.
  • Optionally the NSE key can be applied to the fips key id for added protection. 

    WARNING

    Do not delete the unused key !
