Table 9-1. Interpretation of Security Status of Disk Group

Secure

Security Capable - Yes

Security Capable - No

Yes

The disk group is composed of all

 

SED physical disks and is in a

 

Secure state.

No

The disk group is composed of all

 

SED physical disks and is in a

 

Non-Secure state.

Not applicable. Only SED physical disks can be in a Secure state.

The disk group is not entirely composed of SED physical disks.

The Physical Disk Security menu appears in the Storage Array menu. The Physical Disk Security menu has these options:

Create Security Key

Change Security Key

Save Security Key File

Validate Security Key

Unlock Drives

NOTE: If you have not created a security key for the storage array, the Create Security Key option is active. If you have created a security key for the storage array, the Create Security Key option is inactive with a check mark to the left. The Change Security Key option, the Save Security Key option, and the Validate Security Key option are now active.

The Secure Physical Disks option appears in the Disk Group menu. The Secure Physical Disks option is active if these conditions are true:

The selected storage array is not security enabled but is comprised entirely of security capable physical disks.

The storage array contains no snapshot base virtual disks or snapshot repository virtual disks.

The disk group is in an Optimal state.

A security key is set up for the storage array.

NOTE: The Secure Physical Disks option is inactive if these conditions are not true.

The Secure Physical Disks option is inactive with a check mark to the left if the disk group is already security enabled.
