Release a self-encrypting drive

Use this procedure to release an SED that is managed by CloudLink.

About this task

This option allows you to release ownership of an SED that is managed by CloudLink. This option is only available if an SED license is uploaded and an SED is detected in the physical machine managed by CloudLink Center.

When CloudLink releases an SED, the encryption key is released in CloudLink Center.

Steps

  1. From CloudLink Center, click Agents > Machines and select SDS Machine. Click Release SED.
  2. From RELEASE SED, use the drop-down menu to select the SED drive that you want to release and click Release.

    The status of the SED drive changes to Releasing Control.

    Once CloudLink releases the control, the SED device status shows as Unmanaged.

    NOTE:The Release SED option does not change any data on the SED.
