LSI MegaRAID SafeStore Encryption Services

LSI 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.

Enabling Drive Security

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.
To enable security on the drives, you need to perform the following actions to set drive security:
Enter a security key identifier.
A security key identifier appears whenever you have to enter a security key. If you have more than one security
key, the identifier helps you determine which security key to enter.
Enter a security key.
After you create a security key, you have the option to create secure virtual drives using the key. You have to use
the security key to perform certain operations.
You can improve security by entering a password. To provide additional security, you can require the password
whenever anyone boots the server.
Perform the following steps to enable drive security.
1.
Select the Physical tab in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window, and select a controller icon.
2.
Select Go To > Controller > Enable Drive Security.
