12.8.1  Encrypted pools
For more information about how to open the Create Pool window, see Chapter 6, “Storage 
pools” on page 191. After encryption is enabled, any new pool is created by default as 
encrypted, as shown in Figure 12-69.

You can click Create to create an encrypted pool. All storage that is added to this pool is 
encrypted.
You can customize the Pools view in the management GUI to show pool encryption status. 
Click Pools → Pools, and then, click Actions → Customize Columns → Encryption, as 
shown in Figure 12-70.
Figure 12-70   Pool encryption state
If you create an unencrypted pool but you add only encrypted arrays or self-encrypting 
MDisks to the pool, the pool is reported as encrypted because all extents in the pool are 
encrypted. The pool reverts to the unencrypted state if you add an unencrypted array or 
MDisk.
