Dell CloudLink 8.1.x Administration Guide
Manage a Self-encrypting Drive from CloudLink Center
Use this procedure to manage a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED). Manage SED option is only available if an SED license is uploaded and an SED is detected in the physical machine managed by CloudLink Center.
About this task
When CloudLink Center manages an SED, the SED is locked and the encryption key must be released by CloudLink Center to unlock the SED. When a machine with SEDs is powered on, or when an SED is removed from a machine, the SED must be unlocked by CloudLink Center.
NOTE:The Manage SED option does not change any data on an SED. It only takes ownership of the encryption key.
Steps
- Log in to CloudLink Center.
- Click .
- Select the check box next to the SED you want to manage.
-
Click
.
The Encrypt dialog box is displayed.
- From the Volumes list, select the required data volume.
- Click Encrypt.
