Managing the Encryption Key

NOTE:  This task is supported on PERC hardware controllers running in eHBA but not supported on HBA mode.
NOTE: To configure encryption, SED is not required. The encryption settings are used to configure the virtual disk and the SED.
NOTE: On controller when encryption is disabled, manually enable encryption for virtual disks created using SED drives. Even if the virtual disk is created after a controller has had encryption enabled, to create an encrypted virtual disk the encryption option must still be selected from the Advanced Wizard during virtual disk creation.

On an encryption-capable controller, the Manage Encryption Key task allows you to enable encryption in LKM mode. If you enable LKM, you can create an encryption key for an encryption-capable controller. If the escrow check box options are selected then the file is saved to a specified location for future reference. You can also change or delete the encryption key.
