Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller 10 User’s Guide PERC H345, H740P, H745, and H840 Series Controllers
Security key implementation
The Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) 10 series of cards support Self-Encrypting Disks (SED) for protection of data against loss or theft of SEDs. Protection is achieved by the use of encryption technology on the drives. There is one security key per controller. You can manage the security key under Local Key Management (LKM). The key can be escrowed in to a file using Dell OpenManage storage management application. The security key is used by the controller to lock and unlock access to encryption-capable physical disks. In order to take advantage of this feature, you must:
- Have SEDs in your system.
- Create a security key.
NOTE: If the host system is powered off when connected to an external enclosures or if the sled is powered off in C6XXX PowerEdge servers, the drives will remain in an unlocked state until they are power cycled or AC power is disconnected from the sled or external enclosure.
