Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)

Answer

  • NVE can be applied to environments that are already in operation.
  • There may be an impact on system response during the encryption process, but it is usually minor.
  • The specific impact on performance will depend on the actual operational environment, such as the amount of data, system load, and encryption methods used.
