Creating Secured Virtual Disks

To create a secured virtual disk, the controller must have a security key

established first. See "Create Key" on page 122.

NOTE:

Combining SAS and SATA hard drives within a virtual disk is not supported.

Also, combining hard drives and solid state drives (SSDs) within a virtual disk is not

supported.

After the security key is established, perform the steps outlined in the

"Creating Virtual Disks" on page 88 to create a virtual disk.
To secure the virtual disk, navigate to the Secure VD option at the bottom

left area of the Create New VD screen.

NOTE:

All virtual disks added to a secured Disk Group are secured.
