4.9 LSI SafeStore Encryption Services
LSI SafeStore Encryption Services can encrypt data on the drives and use the drive-based key management to provide
data security. This solution protects data in the event of theft or loss of physical drives. If you remove a self-encrypting
drive from its storage system or the server in which it resides, the data on that drive is encrypted, and becomes useless
to anyone who attempts to access it without the appropriate security authorization.
4.9.1 Enabling Drive Security
This section describes how to enable, change, and disable the drive security, and how to import a foreign
configuration by using the SafeStore Encryption Services advanced software.
To enable security on the drives, you need to perform the following actions to set drive security:
Enter a security key identifier.
A security key identifier appears whenever you have to enter a security key.
Enter a security key.
After you create a security key, you can create secure virtual drives by using the key. You must use the security key
to perform certain operations.
You can improve security by entering a password. To provide additional security, you can request for the password
whenever anyone boots the server.
Perform the following steps to enable drive security.
1. In the VD Mgmt screen, navigate to the controller, and press the F2 key.
2. Navigate to Drive Security, and press Enter.
3. Navigate to Enable Security, and press Enter.
