Parameter

Parameter

Description

diskGroup

The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of

the disk group that you want to place in the

Security Enabled state. Enclose the disk group

identifier in square brackets ([ ]).

Additional Information

To successfully run this command, the following conditions must be met:

• All physical disks in the disk group must be self-encrypting disk (SED) physical disks.
• The Physical Disk Security premium feature must be enabled.
• The storage array security key must be set.
• The disk group must be Optimal, and not have snapshot virtual disks or repository virtual disks.

The RAID controller module firmware creates a lock that restricts access to the SED physical disks. SED
physical disks have a state called Security Capable. When you create a security key, the state is set to
Security Enabled, which restricts access to all SED physical disks that exist within the storage array.
