Enabling/disabling plaintext volumes

IMPORTANT: Plaintext volumes are unencrypted. The option of allowing or disabling the creation of plaintext volumes depends on the following:

•The type of data to be stored on the plaintext volume

•The level of security you want or need in the system

HP recommends that you do not enable this option for systems requiring high security or containing highly sensitive data.

To change plaintext volumes permissions after initial configuration:

1.Open Encryption Manager ("Opening Encryption Manager" on page 33).

2.Log in as the Crypto Officer ("Logging into Encryption Manager" on page 33).
