PERC Security Management Applications

The PERC controller passphrase can be managed from:

• HII

• PERCcli

• Open Manage

• IDRAC

Threat Models Covered by PERC LKM

PERC LKM protects against theft of drives. If an entire system is stolen, the key that is used to unlock the drive is still

stored on the PERC controller allowing the drives to be unlocked at next boot.

Supported Security Protocol

PERC supports TCG Enterprise SSC for enabling secured encryption on SED Drives. See

trustedcomputinggroup.org for more information. DELL’s Enterprise drives that support SED follow this standard.

PERC 10.2 eHBA SED Support

PERC 10.2 FW adds support for eHBA mode allowing RAID and Non-RAID disks in the system. Under eHBA mode,

both VDs and Non-RAID disks can be secured. See the PERC 10.2 User Guide for more information about eHBA

mode and securing Non-RAID disks.
