Setting import lock key IDs

You can set the passphrase associated with an import lock key to unlock FDE-secured disks that are inserted into the storage system from a different secure system using either of two methods.

• Settings > System > Security > Full Disk Encryption > Import Secured Disks. Use tool tips and follow on-screen instructions to enter the passphrase and integrate locked disks into the system.
• Maintenance > Hardware. Once you have selected the secured disks from the graphic view, select Import Secured Disks from the Related Health Actions dropdown, and follow on-screen instructions to enter the passphrase and integrate locked disks into the system.

If the correct passphrase is not entered, the storage system cannot access data on the disk. After importing disks into the system, they will be associated with the system lock key ID, and data will no longer be accessible using the import lock key. This effectively transfers security to the local system passphrase.
