Avoid double encryption
Encryption and decryption at the storage device level does not affect the
encryption switch or blade capabilities, and does not cause problems with
decrypting the data. However, double encryption adds the unnecessary need to
manage two sets of encryption keys, increases the risk of losing data, may reduce
performance, and does not add security.
FC7230 - Installing FIPS 140-2 Level 2 tamper proof seals
The majority of the seals in this feature can be installed while the SAN768B-2 is
operational. However, there are several seals that may be difficult to apply to the
chassis if the chassis is already installed in a cabinet. Plan the installation of the
chassis and other features accordingly. Refer to the separate publication,
IBM
System Storage FIPS 140-2 Security Seal Application Procedures (GA32-2220-00), for
installation instructions of these seals for several different models. This publication
is available through the IBM Support Portal http://www.ibm.com/supportportal
and the IBM Publications Center http://www.ibm.com/shop/publications/order.

Follow the links in the steps below to complete this installation.
1. Verify that the QSFP is the correct part: 99Y0377.
2.
Verify with the customer that the ICL license is installed on each chassis to be
connected. Enter the
licenseIdShow
command for each chassis. If required,
install the ICL license, following the instructions included with the license.
3. Remove the chassis door (“Removing and installing the chassis door” on page
81).
4. Determine the cable routing and QSFP ports on the core switch blades that
you will be using to connect the two chassis.
5.
Remove the rubber plugs from the QSFP ports on the core blades that you
will be connecting. Save the plugs for possible future use.
6. Install the two QSFPs and ICL cables (“Removing and replacing inter-chassis
