Use the following workflow to encrypt a volume in a DDP group for which data encryption is disabled without changing the drive configuration:

  1. Create a volume pair using Volume Migration.
  2. Migrate the volume out of the DDP group.
  3. Delete the DDP group.
  4. Create a new DDP group with encryption enabled.
  5. Create a new volume in the encrypted DDP group.
  6. Create a volume pair using Volume Migration.
  7. Migrate the volume back to the encrypted DDP group.

    The data in the target volume of the pair is now encrypted on the same drive configuration in the storage system.
