Dell Technologies OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key

Manager

This feature allows the PERC to receive a security key from a remote server instead of saving the key on a local controller. This

protects data on secured disks under the PERC if the disks or entire system is stolen. Refer to the www.dell.com/idracmanuals

for more information on configuring OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager, as well as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or

Transport Layer Security (TLS) related configuration.

NOTE: Downgrade of PERC firmware to a firmware that does not support enterprise key management while enterprise key

manager mode is enabled, is blocked.

NOTE: When replacing a controller enabled with enterprise key management, lifecycle controller part replacement will re-

configure the new controller to match the existing controller's configuration.

NOTE: If key exchange fails during boot, view and correct any connection issues with the key server identified in the iDRAC

lifecycle log. Then the system can be cold booted.

Supported controllers for OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key

Manager

Enterprise key manager mode is supported on the PERC H755 adapter, PERC H755 front SAS, and PERC H755N front NVMe,

and allows the creation of secured virtual disks and non–RAID disks. For more information on supported platforms, see

www.dell.com/idracmanuals.

Manage enterprise key manager mode

Enterprise key manager features are managed by iDRAC. For instructions on enabling enterprise key manager mode, see

www.dell.com/idracmanuals.

NOTE:

If preserved cache is present, the controller will not allow OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager mode to be

enabled.

NOTE: Transitioning a controller from LKM mode to enterprise key manager mode without disabling security or the reverse

is not supported.

NOTE: When enterprise key manager mode is enabled, the controller waits up to two minutes for iDRAC to send keys, after

which the PERC continues to boot.

NOTE: Rotation of keys is done by iDRAC. Any attempt to re-key the controller through a different management application

is not supported.
