SafeStore Encryption Services offer the ability to encrypt data on the drives and use
the drive-based key management to provide data security. This solution provides data
protection in the event of theft or loss of physical drives. If you remove a
self-encrypting drive from its storage system or the server in which it resides, the data
on that drive is encrypted, and becomes useless to anyone who attempts to access it
without the appropriate security authorization.
This section describes how to enable, change, and disable the drive security, and how
to import a foreign configuration using the SafeStore Encryption Services advanced
software.
The SafeStore Encryption Services advanced software provides drive security to create
secure virtual drives by using the External Key Management (EKM) and the Local Key
Management (LKM).
