Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System CLI Guide

Sets or changes the lock key for the use of Full Disk Encryption. The lock key is derived from the passphrase and stored within the system.

You must retain the value of the passphrase and the lock key ID that the command returns. If you lose the passphrase, you could be locked out of your data.

When a system and its disks are in the Secured, Locked state, you must enter the passphrase for the system’s lock key ID to restore access to data. Disk groups will be dequarantined, pool health will be restored, and volumes will become accessible.

You cannot set the lock key if any disks are failed, leftover, or unusable. Use the show pools command to check whether any disks have Usage value FAILED, LEFTOVR, or UNUSABLE. If any such disks are present, resolve the disk issues.
