Migration
Secured virtual disks created on a PERC H710/H710P/H810 or H730P card can be migrated to another
PERC H730P card. A virtual disk secured with a 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.
NOTE: The PERC H730P card needs to have a security key present before being able to import a
secured virtual disk.
