Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE)

Answer

  • Volumes created in NAE-enabled aggregates are automatically encrypted
  • Volumes created in an aggregate without NAE enabled are not automatically encrypted
  • You can verify which aggregates have NAE enabled with the following command:

cluster1-01::> storage aggregate show -fields encrypt-with-aggr-key
aggregate encrypt-with-aggr-key
--------- ---------------------
aggr0_cluster1_01
          false
aggr0_cluster1_02
          false
aggr1     true
aggr2     false
aggr3     false
aggr4     true
