Unlocking Secure Physical Disks

You can export a security-enabled disk group to move the associated physical disks to a different storage array. After you install those physical disks in the new storage array, you must unlock the physical disks before data can be read from or written to the physical disks. To unlock the physical disks, you must supply the security key from the original storage array. The security key on the new storage array is different and cannot unlock the physical disks.
