Saving a Security Key

You save an externally storable copy of the security key when the security key

is first created and each time it is changed. You can create additional storable

copies at any time. To save a new copy of the security key, you must provide a

pass phrase. The pass phrase you choose does not need to match the pass

phrase used when the security key was created or last changed. The pass

phrase is applied to the particular copy of the security key you are saving.
To save the security key for the storage array:

1 In the AMW toolbar, select Storage ArrayPhysical Disk SecuritySave

Security Key File.
The

Save Security Key File - Enter Pass Phrase window is displayed.

2 Edit the default path by adding a file name to the end of the path or click

Browse, navigate to the required folder and enter the name of the file.

3 In Pass phrase, enter a string for the pass phrase.

The pass phrase must:
• be between 8 and 32 characters long.
• contain at least 1 uppercase letter.
• contain at least 1 lowercase letter.
• contain at least 1 number.
• contain at least 1 non-alphanumeric character, for example, < > @

+.

The pass phrase that you enter is masked.

4 In Confirm pass phrase, re-enter the exact string you entered in Pass

phrase.
Make a record of the pass phrase you entered. You need it for later secure

operations.

5 Click Save.
6 Make a record of the security key identifier and the file name from the

Save Security Key Complete dialog and click OK.
