the installation begins the appliance node accesses the KMS encryption keys in your StorageGRID system
and begins disk encryption. You are not able to disable node encryption after the appliance is installed.
After you add an appliance that has node encryption enabled to a StorageGRID site that has
a KMS, you cannot stop using KMS encryption for the node.
4. Select

.
5. Deploy the appliance as a node in your StorageGRID system.
KMS-controlled encryption begins when the appliance accesses the KMS keys configured for your
StorageGRID site. The installer displays progress messages during the KMS encryption process, which
might take a few minutes depending on the number of disk volumes in the appliance.
Appliances are initially configured with a random non-KMS encryption key assigned to each
disk volume. The disks are encrypted using this temporary encryption key, that is not secure,
until the appliance that has node encryption enabled accesses the KMS keys configured for
your StorageGRID site.
After you finish
You can view node-encryption status, KMS details, and the certificates in use when the appliance node is in
maintenance mode.

Optional: Change RAID mode (SG6000 only)
You can change to a different RAID mode on the appliance to accommodate your storage
and recovery requirements. You can only change the mode before deploying the
appliance Storage Node.
What you’ll need
• You are using any client that can connect to StorageGRID.
• The client has a

About this task
Before deploying the appliance as a Storage Node, you can choose one of the following volume configuration
options:
•
DDP
: This mode uses two parity drives for every eight data drives. This is the default and recommended
mode for all appliances. When compared to RAID6, DDP delivers better system performance, reduced
rebuild times after drive failures, and ease of management.
•
DDP16
: This mode uses two parity drives for every 16 data drives, which results in higher storage
efficiency compared to DDP. When compared to RAID6, DDP16 delivers better system performance,
reduced rebuild times after drive failures, ease of management, and comparable storage efficiency. To use
DDP16 mode, your configuration must contain at least 20 drives. DDP16 does not provide drawer loss
protection.
