Command Line Interface Guide

If you set force=enabled, the cache is discarded irrespective of whether the controller detects a
foreign or an offline virtual disk.
Example to Discard the preserved cache.
Example
omconfig storage controller action= discardpreservedcache
controller=1 force=enabled
CAUTION: Discarding the preserved cache can result in data loss. It is recommended that you run
this command using the force=disabled option.
NOTE: If a foreign configuration is detected, then the preceding command using
force=disabled option fails. To avoid data loss, import the foreign configuration and flush the
preserved cache to disk. To discard preserved cache forcefully, either clear the foreign
configuration and run the proceeding command, or run the proceeding command using
force=enabled option.
Omconfig Create Encryption Key
Description Creates the encryption key for the controller.
Syntax
omconfig storage controller action= createsecuritykey controller=id
keyid=<keyid string> passphrase=<passphrase string>[escrow= yes]
[filepath=<Absolute path to the escrow file>]
Example to Create the encryption key for the controller.
Example
omconfig storage controller action= createsecuritykey controller=1
keyid=Dell_123 passphrase=Dell_123 escrow=yes filepath= C:/escrow.xml

Syntax
omconfig storage controller action= changesecuritykey controller=id
keyid=<keyid string> passphrase=passphrase string> oldpassphrase=<old
passphrase string>[escrow=yes] [filepath=<Absolute path to the escrow
file>]>
Example to Change the encryption key for the controller.
Example
omconfig storage controller action= changesecuritykey controller=1
keyid=Dell_123 passphrase=Dell_123 oldpassphrase=Dell_321 escrow= yes
filepath=C:/escrow.xml
NOTE: If you set escrow=yes, specify the escrow file path.
