Chapter 13. Encryption 789
13.8.3 Encrypted arrays
See Chapter 4, “Storage pools” on page 143 for instructions on how to add internal storage to
a pool. After encryption is enabled, all newly built arrays are hardware encrypted by default.
The graphical user interface (GUI) supports only this default option.
You can customize MDisks by Pools view to show array encryption status. Click Pools →
MDisk by Pools, and then click Actions → Customize Columns → Encryption as shown in
Figure 13-66.

You can also check the encryption state of an array by looking at its drives in Pools →
Internal Storage view. The internal drives associated with an encrypted array are assigned
an encrypted property that can be seen by clicking an icon at the right edge of the table
header row and selecting the Encrypted option from the menu, as shown in Figure 13-67.

Note: To create an unencrypted array when encryption is enabled use the command-line
interface (CLI) to run the mkarray -encrypt no command. However, you cannot add
unencrypted arrays to an encrypted pool.
