5.Highlight the Secure Disk Group option and press <Enter>.

NOTE: If you select to secure a Disk Group, all VDs part of the Disk Group are secured.

Securing Pre-Existing Virtual Disks

If an unsecured virtual disk was created on a controller, you can secure the virtual disk as long as the following conditions are met:

•The controller has a security key present.

•All the physical disks in the virtual disk are SED.

Perform the following steps when securing a pre-existing virtual disk on a secured controller:

1.During the host system bootup, press <Ctrl> <R> when the BIOS screen is displayed. The Virtual Disk Management screen is displayed.

If there is more than one controller, the main menu screen is displayed.

2.Select a controller, and press <Enter>.

The Virtual Disk Management screen is displayed for the selected controller.

3.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Disk Group number.

4.Press <F2> to display a menu of the available actions.

5.Highlight the Secure Disk Group option and press <Enter>.

NOTE: If you select to secure a Disk Group, all VDs part of the Disk Group are secured.

Importing Or Clearing Secured Foreign Configurations And Secure Disk Migration

Secured virtual disks created on a PERC H700/H800 or H710/H710P/H810 card can be migrated to another PERC H710, H710P, or H810 card. A virtual disk secured with a security key different from the current controller security key cannot be imported without authentication of the original passphrase used to secure them. When importing secured virtual disk(s) created with a different security key, the secured foreign configuration(s) do not show in the Foreign Configuration View screen. Follow the steps below to import or clear a foreign secured virtual disk.

NOTE: If you are importing secured and unsecured virtual disks, you are prompted to resolve the secured foreign configuration first.

NOTE: The PERC H710, H710P, or H810 card needs to have a security key present before being able to import a secured virtual disk.

NOTE: Any unsecured virtual disks imported are still unsecured.

NOTE: If you are importing a virtual disk originally secured with a local key (LKM), you are prompted for the passphrase used to secure that virtual disk.

NOTE: A secured VD cannot be imported using the PERC H310 card.

Perform the following steps when importing a foreign secured virtual disk:

1.During the host system bootup, press <Ctrl> <R> when the BIOS screen is displayed. The Virtual Disk Management screen is displayed.

If there is more than one controller, the main menu screen is displayed.

2.Select a controller, and press <Enter>.

The Virtual Disk Management screen is displayed for the selected controller.
