6. Type data in the following boxes and click Finish.
a. Encryption Key Identifier: Type a unique identifier that is used to identify the encryption key with which
the virtual disks are encrypted. This feature enables you to identify the encryption key of the encrypted
virtual disks.
b. New Passphrase: Type a security key to encrypt the virtual disks. The controller card uses this passphrase
to encrypt the virtual disk data. A valid passphrase must have 8 to 32 characters. A passphrase must
include a combination of upper- and lower case letters, numbers, symbols, and must not have white
spaces.
c. Confirm Passphrase: Retype the passphrase to confirm. That is, the same security passphrase has to be
entered in this field. If an incorrect passphrase is entered, the encryption key is not created, but a warning
message is displayed.
