The Encryption page is displayed, which shows the current status of encryption of the DR Series system.
2.
Click Encryption Settings.
The Encryption Settings dialog box opens.
3.
Next to Encryption, click ON.
4.
Next to Mode, select the mode of key lifecycle management from one of the following options:
◦
Static — A global, fixed key is used to encrypt all data.
◦
Internal — Content encryption keys are generated and rotated on a specified period of days.
5.
If you selected Internal as the mode of key management, next to Key Rotation Interval in Days, enter the number of days for key rotation when a new key is to be generated.
In internal mode there is a maximum limit of 1023 keys. The default key rotation period is set to 30 days by default when the passphrase is set and/or encryption is turned on. You can later change the key rotation period from 7 days to 70 years for internal mode.
6.
Click the Submit Encryption Settings button.

After encryption is enabled, all of the data that is backed up is encrypted and is kept encrypted until it is expired and cleaned by the system cleaner. Note that encryption is an irreversible process.

Changing Encryption Settings

NOTE: Key modes can be changed at any time during the lifetime of the DR Series system; however, changing the key mode can be a significant operation to undertake as all encrypted data must be re-encrypted.

To change current encryption settings, complete the following steps:

1.
Select Storage > Encryption.
The Encryption page is displayed, which lists the current status of encryption on the DR Series system.
2.
Click Encryption Settings.
The Encryption Settings dialog box opens.
3.
Next to Mode, you can change the mode of key lifecycle management from one of the following options:
◦
Static — A global, fixed key is used to encrypt all data.
◦
Internal — Content encryption keys are generated and rotated on a specified period of days.
4.
If you selected Internal as the mode of key management, next to Key Rotation Interval in Days, enter the number of days for key rotation when a new key is to be generated.
The minimum number of days before the content encryption key can be rotated, and a new key is generated is seven days.
5.
Click the Submit Encryption Settings button.

For information about disabling encryption, see the topic, Disabling Encryption.

For information about changing the passphrase, see the topic, Setting or Changing the Passphrase.

NOTE: The topics in this section apply to physical DR Series systems. The virtual DR Series system, DR2000v, may have different options available. For details, see the Dell DR2000v Deployment Guide for your specific VM platform and the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide. For more information on the DR Series system CLI commands, see the Dell DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide.

This topic introduces the ways in which you monitor the current state of DR Series system operations using the Dashboard page options in the navigation panel. The Dashboard page displays a summary of current system status categories (System State, HW State, Number of Alerts, and Number of Events. In addition, this page displays Capacity, Storage Savings, and Throughput), and includes the System Information pane. There are links to other system pages (the Health, Alerts, and Events pages) that you can use to display the current state of the system health (by the status of its components), display the current system alerts, and current system events for your DR Series system.
