Initalize data-at-rest encryption

Initalize data-at-rest encryption

Data-at-rest encryption can only be performed during a fresh installation or after a factory reset.

To initialize data-at-rest encryption as part of a factory reset, you must execute the init command with --encrypt-data-disks. See the steps below.

To initialize data-at-rest encryption as part of a factory reset:
  1. Access the Security Event Manager Controller, and run the following command:

    fazbdctl reset cluster [--all-settings|--all-except-ip|--all-except-ssh|--all-except-ip-ssh]

    The Security Event Manager Controller reboots after a few minutes.

  2. After the Security Event Manager Controller reboots, re-connect to it and run the following command to verify that all members are detected and that the version is up-to-date:

    fazbdctl show members

  3. After verifying that all the members have a Joined state and status is not failed, run the following command:

    fazbdctl init cluster --encrypt-data-disks

  4. Follow the prompt to set a passphrase. Record the passphrase in a secure place and follow the remaining reset steps to complete initializing the cluster.
