Can I Convert My Existing CA Data Protection Deployment To Be FIPS Compatible?

No. Such migrations are not supported.

Note: In theory, it is possible to convert your existing CA Data Protection machines to run in Advanced Encryption Mode. But in practice, this requires you to take all CA Data Protection machines offline and reconfigure them before restarting CA Data Protection. Any machines not changed at this point would cease to communicate with other machines in the CA Data Protection enterprise. For a typical CA Data Protection enterprise, with hundreds or thousands of protected machines, this is unlikely to be practicable.
