Set the attribute encrypted to on with the vxassist command to create encrypted volumes.

If you encrypt the volume with a password or passphrase, VxVM displays the volume status "encrypted with password" for the volume. If you encrypt the volume using a Key Management Server, VxVM displays the volume status "encrypted" for the volume.

The following example encrypts a volume using a Key Management Server:

# vxassist -g mydg make vol01 1g encrypted=on 
# vxassist -g mydg make vol02 1g
# vxencrypt list
Disk group: mydg

	VOLUME      	STATUS      
	vol01        	encrypted   
	vol02        	not encrypted
