Changing a Project Encryption Key (BUI)

You can change the encryption key for a project at any time, even while it is in use by client systems. Changing a project encryption key changes the key for shares that inherit the key from the project.

If the parent pool of the project is encrypted, the project inherits encryption keys from the parent pool by default. You can change a key for a project without changing the key for the parent pool.

From the Shares menu, select Projects.
To find the project that you want to change, click Show All, Local, or Replica.
Move your cursor over the project that you want to change, and click the edit icon .
Click General.

The project parameters are displayed.
If necessary, uncheck Inherit from pool.

If Inherit from pool is checked, the key can only be modified from the parent pool.
To change the project Encryption key, select the keystore and the key name that you want to use.
Click APPLY.

When you click APPLY, your changes are saved and the new key appears in the Encryption key area. All shares in this project inherit the new encryption settings. All shares that are already inheriting encryption settings from this project will also inherit the new encryption settings. See Creating an Encrypted Filesystem or LUN (BUI).
