set fde-lock-key 159

set fde-lock-key

Description Sets or changes the lock key for the use of Full Disk Encryption. The lock key is derived from the

passphrase and stored within the system.

You must retain the value of the passphrase and the lock key ID that the command returns. If you lose

the passphrase, you could be locked out of your data.

Syntax

set fde-lock-key

passphrase

value

[current-passphrase

value

]

[noprompt]

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, or comma. Any

double-quote characters within the passphrase are automatically removed. A value that includes a

space must be enclosed in double quotes. Record this value for later reference.

current-passphrase

value

Optional. If the system is secured, the current passphrase can be provided when using the

noprompt option. The command will prompt for this current passphrase if it is not supplied.

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 Set a lock key in preparation for securing the system using FDE.

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

Please re-enter the passphrase to confirm. Be sure to retain the passphrase

value. "Customer lock--01/10/2014"

Success: Command completed successfully. - System FDE key was set. (2014-02-27
