Dell EMC Server Administrator Storage Management 9.1

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. Even if the virtual disk is created after a controller has had encryption enabled, to create an encrypted virtual disk the encryption option must still be selected from the Advanced Wizard during 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.
