Workflow
Enable Security
You can enable security on the controller. After you enable security, you have the option to create secure virtual drives using a security key.
There are three procedures you can perform to create secure virtual drives using a security key:
See Selecting Full Disk Encryption Security Options for the procedures used to enable security in MegaRAID Storage Manager.
Create the Security Key Identifier
The security key identifier appears whenever you enter the security key. If you have multiple security keys, the identifier helps you determine which security key to enter. The controller provides a default identifier for you. You can use the default or enter your own identifier.
Create the Security Key
You need to enter the security key to perform certain operations. You can choose a strong security key that the controller suggests.
If you forget the security key, you will lose access to your data.
Create a Passphrase (Optional)
The pass phrase provides additional security. The pass phrase should be different from the security key. If you choose this option, you must enter it whenever you boot your server.
If you forget the pass phrase, you will lose access to your data.
When you use the specified security key identifier, security key, and pass phrase, security will be enabled on the controller.
