Deleting Encryption Key Using CMC Web Interface
You can only delete encryption keys for a controller only when secured virtual disks are not associated with it.
To delete an encryption key:
1. In the left pane, go to Storage > Controllers > Setup.
2. From the Security Key drop-down, select Delete Security Key.
A confirmation message is displayed.
3. Click OK to proceed.
After you delete the encryption key, all the SEDs that are not part of the virtual disks are secure-erased. For more
information, see the Online Help.
Deleting Encryption Key Using RACADM
To delete an encryption key by running a RACADM command, use the following syntax:
racadm raid deletesecuritykey:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1
For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
Encrypting Virtual Disks
You can encrypt virtual disks created on SEDs after configuring an encryption key on the controller. Whenever you perform an
encryption, a message is logged in the CMC Log. You can encrypt virtual disks:
● Security key is configured on the controller.
● All the drives on the virtual disk are SEDs.
Encrypting one virtual disk enables encryption on all the virtual disks on the same disks group.
You must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege to encrypt virtual disks.
Encrypting Virtual Disks Using CMC Web Interface
To encrypt an existing virtual disk:
1. In the left pane, click Storage > Virtual Disks > Manage.
2. From the Virtual Actions drop-down, select Encrypt Virtual Disk and click Apply.
NOTE: The Encrypt Virtual Disk option is available only if unsecure virtual disks are configured in the SED.
Encrypting Virtual Disks Using RACADM
To encrypt virtual disks by running a RACADM command, use the following syntax:
racadm raid encryptvd:Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1
For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
Unlocking Foreign Configuration
Drives which are part of secure virtual disks are called secured drives. Secured drives can be migrated from one controller to
another controller. If a different encryption or security key is configured for the destination controller, the security status of
these drives is displayed as ‘locked’ and cannot be seen as part of ‘preview foreign config’. The ‘Import foreign config’ does not
detect these foreign drives.
