Page 17: Chapter 4. Managing Sed
Chapter 4. Managing SED Overview Introduction A Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) encrypts data through disk-based encryption with a Media Encryption Key (MEK). The MEK is known only to the SED and cannot be recovered through forensic analysis. Smart controllers enable the use of SEDs as logical drives or physical drives. The controller is responsible for managing and delivering the credentials required by the SED for enabling the disk- based encryption. - Page 18 Logical and physical drives Adapters support using SEDs for logical and physical drives with the disk-based encryption feature enabled. Encryption-enabled drives are referred to as secured drives. The controller delivers the credentials to the SEDs and unlocks them. SEDs can also be used for logical and physical drives without the disk-based encryption feature turned on (like a non-SED device) and is referred to as non-secured drives.

Importing a foreign secured SED A foreign SED is defined as a secured physical or logical drive that was previously attached to an Adaptec controller with a different credential than what is stored in the new Adaptec controller. The controller can detect that the drive was moved from a different controller and can import the drive to the new controller when the original credentials are entered. - Page 20 Use the following steps to secure the SED: Step 1. Connect the supported SED to the controller. Step 2. Refer to system vendor documentation to establish connection between system and remote key management server. Step 3. Enable SED management from HII, ARCCONF, or maxView™. Choose the key management mode as remote.
- Page 21 Select Set/Change Managed SED Settings. Step 3. Step 4. Select Configure Managed SED. Step 5. Enter input for Set/Change Controller Password and select Enabled for Controller Password field. Step 6. Select Submit Changes. Step 7. Local key management mode requires additional authentication using Master key, enter current Master Key to authenticate the operation.
- Page 22 Step 4. Select SED Encryption as Enabled. When SED Encryption is enabled, all the logical drives in the array will be encrypted using SED disk based encryption. The array's physical drive will be owned by the controller. There is no operation to convert back. Step 6.
- Page 23 A non-SED or Otherwise Owned SED cannot be added to a secure logical drive. Only secure (Adaptec-owned) or OFS SEDs can be added to secure logical drives. HBA physical drive operations This section details physical drive operations for HBAs. Taking ownership of SED Use the following steps to take ownership of the SED: Step 1.
- Page 24 Select option Revert to Original Factory State using PSID. Step 4. Step 5. Enter PSID of the drive. Select Submit Changes. Step 6. Importing foreign SED Use the following steps to import foreign SEDs: Step 1. Boot to system BIOS setup utility and select controller to enter HII configuration utility. Step 2.

Page 25: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Lost controller password in local key management mode When the Controller Password feature is enabled and the password is forgotten, the Controller Password feature can be disabled by changing the SED management configuration. Configuration changes require the user to enter the Master Key, which was generated at the time of SED enablement. Moving SEDs to a different controller while key change is in progress Moving a SED to another server or adapter while a key change is in progress should only occur if there is a server or controller failure. -
