Managing The Encryption Key
NOTE: This task is
not supported on PERC hardware controllers running in HBA mode.
NOTE: To configure encryption, SED is not required. The encryption
settings are used to configure the virtual disk and the SED.
NOTE: On controller
when encryption is disabled, manually enable encryption for virtual
disks created using SED drives. If the virtual disk is created after
encryption is enabled on a controller, the virtual disk is automatically
encrypted, it will automatically be configured as an encrypted virtual
disk unless the enabled encryption option is disabled during the advance
configuration virtual disk creation.
On an encryption-capable controller, the Manage Encryption Key task allows you to enable encryption in LKM mode. If you enable LKM, you can create an encryption key on an encryption-capable controller and save it locally. You can also change or delete the encryption key.
NOTE: This task is
available only on PERC H7x0 and H8x0 controllers.
