Securing Pre-Existing Virtual Disks
If an unsecured virtual disk was created on a controller, you can secure the
virtual disk as long as the following conditions are met:
• The controller has a security key present.
• All the physical disks in the virtual disk are SED.
Perform the following steps when securing a pre-existing virtual disk on a
secured controller:
1
During the host system bootup, press <Ctrl><R> when the BIOS screen
is displayed.
The
Virtual Disk Management screen is displayed.
If there is more than one controller, the main menu screen is displayed.
2 Select a controller, and press <Enter>.
The
Virtual Disk Management screen is displayed for the selected controller.
3 Use the arrow keys to highlight the Disk Group number.
4 Press <F2> to display a menu of the available actions.
5 Highlight the Secure Disk Group option and press <Enter>.
NOTE: If you select to secure a Disk Group, all virtual disks part of the Disk
Group are secured.
Importing or Clearing Secured Foreign Configurations and Secure Disk
Migration
Secured virtual disks created on a PERC H700 or H800 card can be migrated
to another PERC H700 or H800 card. A virtual disk secured with a local
security key different from the current controller security key cannot be
imported without authentication of the original passphrase used to secure
them.
When importing secured virtual disk(s) created with a different security key,
the secured foreign configuration(s) do not show in the Foreign
Configuration View screen. Follow the steps below to import or clear a
foreign secured virtual disk.
NOTE: If you are importing secured and unsecured virtual disks, you are prompted
to resolve the secured foreign configuration first.
