• B. No. it is targeted for a future release of Data ONTAP.
• C. Yes, only with a special license installed.

Answer: (D)

Encryption in ONTAP Cluster-Mode has been available since the 8.0.1 release, so by the time 8.1.1 is running, encryption is a built-in, supported feature. You don’t need to file a PVR or wait for a future release, and there isn’t a requirement for a special separate license to enable it. The feature is part of the product, with encryption configured for the data you choose to protect and keys managed through the normal key management processes.
