Manage a self-encrypting drive (SED) from CloudLink Center

Use this procedure to manage an SED device through CloudLink Center.

About this task

When managing SEDs from CloudLink Center, be aware of the following:

  • CloudLink Center can manage encryption keys for self-encrypting drives (SEDs).
  • Managing SEDs with CloudLink Center is functional when the CloudLink agent is installed on machines with SEDs.
  • When managed by CloudLink Center, SED encryption keys are stored in the current keystore for the machine group they are in.
  • The functionality for managing SEDs requires a separate SED license.
  • If the SED cannot retrieve the key from CloudLink Center, the SED remains locked.

Steps

From the CloudLink Center, select Agent > Machines, click Actions and select Manage SED. Ownership of the encryption key is enabled.

NOTE:This option is only available if an SED license is uploaded and an SED is detected in the physical machine managed by CloudLink Center. The Manage SED option does not change data on an SED it only takes ownership of the encryption key.
