LKM

This section describes how to enable, change, and disable the drive security, and how
to import a foreign configuration 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. If you
have more than one security key, the identifier helps you determine which security
key to enter.

Enter a security key.

After you create a security key, you have the option to create secure virtual drives
using the key. You have to use the security key to perform certain operations.

You can improve security by entering a password. To provide additional security, you
can require the password whenever anyone boots the server.

1. Select the Physical tab in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window,
and select a controller icon.

2. Select Go To >> Controller >> Change Drive Security >> Enable.
