In this chapter, we will validate the integration between Utimaco ESKM and NetApp ONTAP. This includes confirming KMIP-based connectivity, verifying that encryption keys are properly generated, stored, and retrieved by ONTAP, and ensuring that volume encryption workflows — such as enabling NVE (NetApp Volume Encryption) or transitioning volumes — function as expected. By the end of this section, you should be able to confirm that the integration is fully operational and that ONTAP volumes are securely encrypted using keys managed by Utimaco ESKM.
