SIMULATION
A VxRail administrator is concerned about security and wants to protect the vSAN storage against unauthorized access (for both data on disk and in flight.)
Use the simulator to enable the relevant services. A vSphere Native Key Provider has already been configured.
To protect the vSAN storage against unauthorized access for both data on disk and in-flight, enable vSAN data-at-rest encryption and data-in-transit encryption. Follow these steps:
Log in to vSphere Client:
Open the vSphere Client.
Enter the username: administrator@vsphere.local.
Enter the password: VMw@r3!123.
Click Login.
Navigate to vSAN Cluster Settings:
In the left-hand navigation pane, expand VxRail-DC and select VxRail-Cluster.
Click on the Configure tab.
Enable vSAN Data-at-Rest Encryption:
Under the vSAN section, select Services.
Click on Data-at-Rest Encryption.
Click Edit to configure encryption settings.
Ensure that the Enable Data-at-Rest Encryption checkbox is selected.
Choose the vSphere Native Key Provider that has already been configured.
Click Apply to enable data-at-rest encryption.
Enable vSAN Data-in-Transit Encryption:
Under the same vSAN section, select Services.
Click on Data-in-Transit Encryption.
Click Edit to configure encryption settings.
Ensure that the Enable Data-in-Transit Encryption checkbox is selected.
Click Apply to enable data-in-transit encryption.
Verify Configuration:
Return to the vSAN > Services section.
Ensure that both Data-at-Rest Encryption and Data-in-Transit Encryption are enabled and show as active.
Verify that there are no error messages indicating configuration issues.
Steps using the Simulator:
Login to vSphere Client:
Open the simulator and navigate to the vSphere Client interface.
Log in using the credentials:
Username: administrator@vsphere.local.
Password: VMw@r3!123.
Navigate to vSAN Settings:
In the vSphere Client interface, expand VxRail-DC and select VxRail-Cluster.
Click on the Configure tab on the right.
Enable Data-at-Rest Encryption:
Under vSAN, click Services.
Find Data-at-Rest Encryption and click Edit.
Check the box for Enable Data-at-Rest Encryption.
Select the vSphere Native Key Provider.
Click Apply.
Enable Data-in-Transit Encryption:
Still under vSAN > Services, find Data-in-Transit Encryption and click Edit.
Check the box for Enable Data-in-Transit Encryption.
Click Apply.
Verification:
Check the status of both encryption services under vSAN > Services to ensure they are enabled and operational.

=========================
By enabling both data-at-rest and data-in-transit encryption, you can protect the vSAN storage from unauthorized access and ensure data security both on disk and during transit.
