Adding Files to an Encryption Zone

Copying data from encrypted locations

By default, distcp compares checksums provided by the filesystem to verify that data was successfully copied to the destination. When copying from an encrypted location, the file system checksums will not match because the underlying block data is different. This is true whether or not the destination location is encrypted or unencrypted.

In this case, you can specify the -skipcrccheck and -update flags to avoid verifying checksums. When you use -skipcrccheck, distcp checks the file integrity by performing a file size comparison, right after the copy completes for each file.
