Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System CLI Reference Guide

set fde-state


Description	Changes the overall state of the system for the use of Full Disk Encryption. The system can be secured, where each disk becomes secured and not accessible outside the system. Alternatively, the system can be repurposed, where each disk is secure erased.
Minimum role	standard
Syntax	set fde-state [noprompt] [repurpose] [secure passphrase <value>] Either the repurpose parameter or the secure parameter must be specified.
Parameters	[noprompt] Optional. Suppresses confirmation prompts. Specifying this parameter allows the command to proceed without user interaction. [repurpose] Optional. The system will be repurposed, which secure erases all disks. Before issuing the command, all data (such as volumes and disk groups) must be deleted from the disks [secure passphrase <value>] Optional. The system and all its disks will become secured, using the specified FDE system passphrase, which must have been previously configured. A value that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes. If the disks are not all FDE-capable the command will fail, and no changes will be made.
Examples	Secure the system using Full Disk Encryption. # set fde-state secure passphrase "Customer lock--01/10/2019" A lost passphrase will result in unrecoverable data loss. Please re-enter the passphrase to confirm: "Customer lock--01/10/2019"
