Change or Delete Security Key
You can change a Security Key of a controller if the controller already has a configured Security Key. You can delete a Security Key for secured controllers only if
there are no secured virtual disks.
To change the Security Key, enter the new Security Key Identifier and Passphrase. You are prompted to authenticate with the current Passphrase. Ensure you
read the note on the importance of Passphrase and consequences of not saving the same, before applying the changes.
When you change the Security Key, the existing configuration on this controller is updated to use the new Security Key. If you have removed any of the
secured drives previously, you must authenticate with the old Passphrase to import the secured drives.
If you delete the Security Key, you cannot create secured virtual disks and all secured unconfigured self-encrypting drives are erased. However, deleting a
Security Key does not affect security or data in foreign disks.

CAUTION: It is important to understand that if you lose the Passphrase, you cannot recover it. If you move the physical disks associated with the
lost Passphrase to another controller, you will not be able to access data from that disk.
