Change Enclosure Security key
If you want to change the Enclosure Security key, you must provide the old Enclosure Security key. If you don't know
the old Enclosure Security key, you won't be able to change Enclosure Security key.
When Enclosure Security key is changed to the new key, Disk Security key is also changed to the same new key and
written to the secured disk.
Change Disk Security key
If the Enclosure Security Key and Disk Security Key do not match, you will not be able to access data stored on the disk
or array.
This ensures that the disk or array will remain inaccessible when removed from the system.
In order to access data, the administrator will need to input the original "old" Enclosure Security Key.
To explain, there are two situations in which the Enclosure Security Key and Disk Security Key will not match:
Situation 1: The disk is from another Enclosure.
Situation 2: The disk/array was not present when the Enclosure Security Key was changed.
Disable Disk Security
If you do not want to encrypt the disks, you can use Cryptographic Erase to disable Disk Security.
Warning:
Using the Cryptographic erase will delete the Security (Encryption) key from the target disk/ array members.
Data stored on these devices will no longer be accessible.
Disable Enclosure Security
If you do not want to use the SafeStorage, we provide options to disable Enclosure Security.
The Enclosure Security can only be disabled if the target AIC/ enclosure is not hosting any secured disks with the
"Legacy" status or secured arrays.
Disable Enclosure Security will perform a Cryptographic Erase operation to disable Disk Security for all secured disks
on the Enclosure.
Warning:
After disabling Enclosure Security, data stored on these secured disks will no longer be accessible.
