Set FIPS physical disk security identifier

Description

This command is used to reset a FIPS physical disk back to the original manufacturer settings. This may be necessary if the physical disk is locked due to an invalid or missing security key file or unknown pass phrase. All existing physical disk data will be erased.
  • WARNING: This command resets a FIPS physical disk back to the original manufacturer settings and erases all existing physical disk data. This operation is completely irreversible.

To erase an SED physical disk, use the start secureErase command.

Syntax

set physicalDisk [enclosureID,drawerID,slotID] securityID="string";

Parameters

Table 1. Physical disk security parameters
Parameter Description
physical disk The location of the physical disk that you want to set the security ID. For dense expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value for the physical disk. For non-dense expansion enclosuress, specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID value for the physical disk. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99 . Drawer ID values are 0 to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to 59.

Enclose the enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value in square brackets ([ ]).

securityID The security ID of the physical disk to erase, in string form. This string can have a maximum of 32 characters. The form of the security ID will vary by manufacturer.
  • NOTE: To find the security ID, remove the physical disk and read the security ID on the canister label.

Notes

The physical disk parameter supports both dense expansion enclosures and non-dense expansion enclosures. A dense expansion enclosures has drawers that hold the physical disks. The drawers slide out of the expansion enclosure to provide access to the physical disks. A non-dense expansion enclosure does not have drawers. For a dense expansion enclosure, you must specify the identifier (ID) of the expansion enclosure, the ID of the drawer, and the ID of the slot in which a physical disk resides. For a non-dense expansion enclosure, you need only specify the ID of the expansion enclosure and the ID of the slot in which a physical disk resides. For a non-dense expansion enclosure, an alternative method for identifying a location for a physical disk is to specify the ID of the expansion enclosure, set the ID of the drawer to 0, and specify the ID of the slot in which a physical disk resides.
