server, from initial deployment, through

 

 

ongoing management, to service alerting

 

 

and remote support. HP iLO is provided

 

 

on all HP ProLiant Gen8 and later servers.

 

 

HP iLO 4 Advanced or Scale Out editions

 

 

v1.40 or later connect and auto-register

 

 

with the HP ESKM. HP iLO provides key

 

 

exchange support between the HP Smart

 

 

Array Controller and the HP ESKM to

 

 

enable pre-boot support for OS disk

 

 

encryption. Audit support is provided for

 

 

all key management transactions.

 

Instant volume erase

Provides ability to instantly,

 

cryptographically erase logical volumes

 

 

without having to delete the volume first

 

Key rotation support

Supports the rekeying of all keys utilized

 

by the controller to enable a robust key

 

 

rotation strategy

 

Local Key Management Mode

Focused on single server deployments

per controller that is managed by the user.

 

 

In Local Mode, all volumes still have their

 

 

own unique key for data encryption.

 

One-way encryption

As a security feature, data volumes

 

cannot be converted back to plaintext

 

 

after the volume is encrypted. Restoration

 

 

of data is required to revert back to

 

 

plaintext.

 

Pre-deployment support

Supports the ability to preconfigure all

 

cryptographic security settings while in a

 

 

server, then store the powered-off

 

 

controller for later use while retaining the

 

 

settings securely.

for managing encryption services: a

 

 

Crypto Officer role and a User role.
