Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Administration Guide

Add the encrypted devices to an SDS

After the devices are encrypted, in the PowerFlex Manager add them to the relevant PowerFlex SDS. For software-encrypted SSDs, use their new /dev/mapper/.. path when adding the device. SEDs use the normal /dev/sdX path.

NOTE:Do not add a software-encrypted SSD using its original path (/dev/…). Doing so can stop the device encryption (device erasure, in terms of CloudLink), and this can corrupt the data on the device.
