HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide

set fde-state

Description Changes the overall state of the system for the use of Full Disk Encryption. The system can be secured,

where each disk becomes secured and not accessible outside the system. Alternatively, the system

can be repurposed, where each disk is secure erased.

Syntax

set fde-state

[repurpose]

[secure passphrase

value

]

[noprompt]

Either the repurpose parameter or the secure parameter must be specified.

Parameters passphrase

value

A customer-supplied password associated with securing the system. The value is case sensitive and

can include 8–32 printable UTF-8 characters except angle brackets, backslash, comma, or double

quote. A value that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes. Record this value for later

reference.

repurpose

Optional. The system will be repurposed, which secure erases all disks. Before issuing the command,

all data (such as volumes and vdisks) must be deleted from the disks.

secure

Optional. The system and all its disks will become secured. The FDE system passphrase must have

been previously configured. If the disks are not all FDE-capable the command will fail, and no

changes will be made.

noprompt

Optional in console format; required for XML API format. Suppresses the confirmation prompt, which

requires that the passphrase be re-entered. Specifying this parameter allows the command to

proceed without user interaction.

Example Secure the system using Full Disk Encryption.

# set fde-state secure passphrase "Customer lock--01/10/2014"

Please re-enter the passphrase to confirm. "Customer lock--01/10/2014"

Success: Command completed successfully. (2014-02-27 14:42:12)
