root volume encryption secure purge operation

[chinchillaking]

Hi All,

Refer "Once root volume encryption begins, it must complete. You cannot pause the operation. Once encryption is complete, you cannot assign a new key to the root volume and you cannot perform a secure-purge operation''.

is only root volume cannot secure-purge operation or all volume in cluster cannot secure-purge operation?

Best regards

it is only root volume.

you can try for the non root vol(e.g. test_vol)

volume encryption secure-purge -volume test_vol

(assuming there are no active snapshots)

• You cannot convert a vserver root volume using NVE conversion.
• SVM Root volumes MUST be encrypted via NAE.
• Encryption on SVM root volume fails with Operation is not supported on a vserver root - NetApp Knowledge Base
