Changing a Share Encryption Key (CLI)

You can change the encryption key associated share at any time, even while it is in use by client systems. To change a key for a share without changing the parent project, use the following procedure:

1. To see a share's current key, navigate to that filesystem or LUN and enter get keyname.

   hostname:shares default> select fs-1
   hostname:shares default/fs-1> get keyname
                         keyname = MyFirstKey

2. To change the key used for the share, enter set keyname= followed by the new keyname, and then enter commit.

   hostname:shares default/fs-1> set keyname=MySecondKey
                         keyname = MySecondKey (uncommitted)
   hostname: shares default/fs-1> commit.

3. Verify the new share key by entering get keyname.

   shares default/fs-1> get keyname
                         keyname = MySecondKey
