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.
