Abstract: A distributed system, such as a distributed storage system in a virtualized computing environment and having storage nodes arranged in a cluster, is provided by management server with a transition period between non-encryption and encryption modes of operation. The transition period enables all of the nodes to complete a transition from the non-encryption mode of operation to the encryption mode of operation, without loss of data-in-transit (DIT). An auto-remediation feature is provided by the management server to the cluster, so as to fix inconsistent state(s) of one or more nodes in the cluster.
