PowerScale OneFS Web Administration Guide
SyncIQ data encryption overview
OneFS now enables you to encrypt SyncIQ data from one PowerScale cluster to another.
You can use the integrated capabilities of SyncIQ to encrypt the data during transfer between PowerScale clusters and protect the data in flight during intercluster replications.
SyncIQ policies now support end-to-end encryption for cross-cluster communications.
You can manage certificates with the help of the new SyncIQ store. SyncIQ provides encryption by using X.509 certificates that are paired with TLS version 1.2 and OpenSSL version 1.0.2o. The certificates are stored and managed in the certificate stores of the source and target clusters . Encryption between clusters takes place with each cluster storing its own certificate and the certificate of its peer. The source cluster is required to store the certificate of the target cluster, and conversely. Storing the certificate of the peer essentially creates an allowed list of approved clusters for data replication. Certification revocation is supported through an external Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responder.
NOTE Both the source and target cluster must be upgraded and committed to
OneFS 8.2.x, before enabling SyncIQ encryption.
PowerScale clusters may now require that all incoming and outgoing SyncIQ policies be encrypted through a simple change in the SyncIQ Global Settings.
