Encrypt client data in a directory-container storage pool

IBM Spectrum Protect™ Version 8.1.2 provides enhanced protection for client data. If you used an earlier release of IBM Spectrum Protect to write client data to a directory-container storage pool, you can encrypt the existing client data in the storage pool. You can also enable encryption of new client data before it is written to the storage pool.

To enable encryption for an existing directory-container storage pool, issue the UPDATE STGPOOL command and specify ENCRYPT=YES. To enable encryption for a new directory-container storage pool, define the storage pool by using the DEFINE STGPOOL command and specify ENCRYPT=YES.
