CLI Guide

Only virtual disks created using hard disk physical disks can use the SSD cache. You cannot enable SSD
cache on snapshot (legacy) virtual disks or snapshot images.
If all of the SSDs in the SSD cache are data assurance (DA)-capable and the DA premium feature is
enabled, DA is automatically enabled for the SSD cache and cannot be disabled. In addition, you cannot
add non-DA capable SSDs to a DA-enabled SSD cache.
Create Storage Array Security Key
Description
This command creates a new security key for a storage array that has Self-Encrypting Disk (SED) physical
disks. This command also sets the security definitions and sets the state to Security Enabled.
NOTE: Before you create a storage array security key, you must set the password for the storage
array. Use the setStorageArray command to set the password for the storage array.
Syntax
create storageArray securityKey [keyIdentifier="keyIdentifierString"]
[passPhrase="passPhraseString"] [file="fileName"] [commitSecurityKey=(TRUE |
FALSE)]
Parameters
Parameter Description
keyIdentifier
A character string that you can read that is a
wrapper around a security key.
passPhrase
A character string that encrypts the security key so
that you can store the security key in an external
file.
file
The file path and the file name to which you want
to save the security key. For example,
file="C:\Program Files\CLI\sup\seckey.slk"
NOTE: You must add a file extension of .slk to
the end of the file name.
commitSecurityKey
This parameter commits the security key identifier
to the storage array for all SES drives as well as the
RAID controllers. After the security key identifier is
committed, a key is required to read data or write
data. The data can only be read or changed by
using a key, and the drive can never be used in a
nonsecure mode without rendering the data
useless or totally erasing the drive.
