PSTK volume move from volume to aggr encryption

djwarner2929 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:54:18 GMT

I have an aggregate that I want to retire. Volumes have volume based encryption. I'm trying to migrate volumes to other aggregates with aggr level encryption. but it appears the start-ncvolmove cmdlet doesn't have an option to use aggregate encryption. I'm using the latest PSTK 9.7. anyone else found a way to do this?

Thanks

Dave

It doesn't look like the Start-NcVolMove cmdlet itself supports the necessary aggregate encryption parameter (-encrypt-with-aggr-key), unfortunately. However, the API that the cmdlet calls - volume-move-start - does. You can use the "Invoke-NcSystemApi" cmdlet to make the API call directly to work around the gap. Something like this might work:

$SourceVol = <your volume> $DestAggr = <your destination aggregate> $Vserver = <Source Vserver> $Request = @" <volume-move-start> <dest-aggr>$DestAggr</dest-aggr> <encrypt-with-aggr-key>$true</encrypt-with-aggr-key> <source-volume>$SourceVol</source-volume> <vserver>$Vserver</vserver> </volume-move-start> "@ Invoke-NcSystemApi -Request $Request

I don't have a system with NAE enabled to test this on, so I can't fully validate that it will work, but it should.
