Support for Disk and Volume Management
Storage Management does not provide disk and volume management. To implement disk and volume management, you need to use the native disk and
volume management utilities provided by your operating system.
Support for Encryption Key Management
Storage Management enables creating, changing, and deleting the Encryption Key on a encryption-capable controller. PERC H700 and H800 family of
controllers are encryption-capable. You can enable encryption on these encryption-capable controllers through the Storage Management graphical user
interface (GUI) or the Command Line Interface (CLI). Setting an Encryption Key allows you to create encrypted virtual disks using Self Encryption Disks (SED).
The data stored in the encrypted virtual disk is encrypted.
For information on Command Line Interface, see Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

NOTE: Integrated mirroring on the PERC 4/IM controller enables you to mirror a physical disk that resides internally in the server. You can implement the
integrated mirror using the PERC 4/IM BIOS. When implemented, Storage Management recognizes the integrated mirror as a virtual disk. You cannot,
however, use Storage Management to create a virtual disk on the PERC 4/IM controller. Storage Management supports other functions provided by the
PERC 4/IM controller. For more information, see Integrated Mirroring and the PERC 4/IM Controller.
NOTE: The new PERC H200 Controller driver and firmware supports 3 TB NL SAS hard drives, 3 TB NL SATA hard drives, and SAS SSDs.
