The number of drives that are not SEDs. If this number is
non-zero, encryption operations cannot complete until these
Non-SEDs
drives are removed from the system, as an encrypted system
requires all drives to be self-encrypting.
Number of disks that are not usable. If this number is
non-zero, encryption operations cannot be completed until
these drives are removed from the system.
FailedDisks
Replacing a Failed Disk Drive
The drive-replacement feature and the servicemag command function as they do in a system
without data encryption. With data encryption, the old or failed drive will be locked when it is
removed from the system. When the system detects a new drive, the drive will be cryptographically
erased before it is admitted into the system.
For more information about the servicemag command, see the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface
Reference.
Upgrading an SED with New Firmware
Upgrades to the HP 3PAR OS function as they do for non-SEDs, except that SED drives have
different firmware. Typically, the upgrade is performed automatically for users.
