Operations 90

EncryptionUserPasswordSet

This command sets the encryption password for the User role. The command value is the password.

FirmwareLock

This command toggles the array controller firmware through the values Lock and Unlock. Firmware must

be unlocked prior being updated.

Encryption logical volume category

The following commands have been added to HP SSA Scripting versions 1.60.0.0 and later to support data

encryption features introduced with select Gen8+ controllers.

CryptoScramble

This command performs an instant cryptographic erase on the current logical volume. All user data is lost
upon entering the command value Yes.

Encode

This command converts a plaintext logical volume to an encrypted volume, optionally converting the existing
data or destroying it. The command values are PreserveData or DestroyData.
If PreserveData is entered, a volume transformation occurs.

EncryptionRekeyVolume

This command rekeys the logical volume when the value Yes is entered. This results in a volume

transformation.

Plaintext

This command specifies whether to create a new logical volume in either plaintext or encrypted form. To
create a plaintext volume when encryption is enabled, the AllowPlainText option must have been set

during initial configuration of the array controller. The command values are Enable or Disable, in reference
to whether encrypted forms are enabled. The default form is encrypted, or enabled.

XML support

HP SSA scripting supports an XML file format for input and output.

XML output

To create an XML output document, use an XML suffix with the output file name:

C:\hpssascripting -c out.xml

The following text is an example XML output file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Config.document>
