Dell EMC 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.
