clear fde-keys

Description

Clears the lock key ID and import lock ID used with Full Disk Encryption.

Use this command to temporarily deny access to data on the disks during a period when the system will not be under your physical control. If the lock keys are cleared while the system is secured, the system enters the Secured, Lock Ready state, in preparation for the system being powered off and transported. No further FDE configuration is allowed until the system has been power that is cycled. Disks remain in the Secured, Unlocked state until they are power that is cycled.

After the system has been transported and powered on, the system and disks will enter the Secured, Locked state; and volumes will become inaccessible. To restore access to data, re-enter the original passphrase by using the set fde-lock-key command.
