Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)
  • NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE)

Answer

NAE can be enabled at the aggregate level. All volumes within the aggregate are encrypted in the background, ensuring data remains accessible during the transition. Thus, no downtime is required
