Creating an Encrypted Filesystem or LUN (CLI)
Shares (filesystems and LUNs) can be encrypted individually or they can be encrypted at the
project level because shares inherit project properties. If the project is encrypted, a filesystem or
LUN created within it is also encrypted. To create an individual encrypted filesystem or LUN
that is in an unencrypted project, use the following procedure.
Before You Begin
To use encryption, you must configure it first; see “Data Encryption” on page 559.
1.
Go to shares.
hostname:> shares
2.
Enter select and the project name.
In this example, the default project is selected.
hostname:shares > select default
3.
Enter filesystem and a filesystem name, or lun and a LUN name.
A name must consist of 1 to 64 characters, but not include spaces or begin with a period.
Allowable characters are: alphanumeric and special characters _ - . :
The following example creates a filesystem named fs-1 in the default project.
