Elements for Modifying Software Encryption Properties

The following table lists the XML elements that you can modify to configure software encryption on a storage policy copy or a storage pool using the command line interface.

Element

Description of the element value

storagePolicyName

The name of the storage policy or the storage pool.

encryptData

Use this option to modify the encryption properties on the storage policy copy.

1 (to modify encryption properties), and 2 (to use the existing properties).

encryptionType

The cipher to use for encryption.

AES / BLOWFISH / DES3 / GOST / SERPENT / TWOFISH

Note: Values for encryptionType element are case-sensitive.

encryptionKeyLength

The key length to use with the cipher that you configure in the encryptionType parameter.

  • 3-DES cipher: 192

  • AES (Rijndael), Blowfish, Serpent, and TwoFish ciphers:

    • 128

    • 256

  • GOST cipher: 256

preserveEncryptionModeAsInSource

Use this option to use the encryption properties that are configured on the source storage policy copy.

1 (enable), 0 (disable), and 2 (to use the existing properties).

auxCopyReencryptData

Re-encrypts the data using the cipher that you configure in the encryptionType parameter before storing the data on secondary storage.

1 (enable), 0 (disable), and 2 (use the existing properties).

storePlainText

No encryption. Data is stored as plain text on secondary storage.

1 (enable), 0 (disable), and 2 (to use the existing properties).

encryptOnNetworkUsingSelectedCipher

Use this option to encrypt the backup data during transmission and then store as plain text on the secondary storage.

1 (enable), 0 (disable), and 2 (to use the existing properties).

Use this parameter when you enable storePlainText parameter.

storeKeyOnMedia

Use this option to configure direct media access via media password option.

1 (enable), 0 (disable), and 2 (to use the existing properties).

encryptOnDependentPrimary

Use this option to enable encryption for a storage pool.

1 (enable), 0 (disable), and 2 (to use the existing properties).
