What do I need to know before unlocking secure drives?

To unlock the data from a secure-enabled drive that is migrated to a new storage array, you must import its security key.

Before unlocking secure-enabled drives, keep the following guidelines in mind:

  • The target storage array (where you are moving the drives) must already have a security key. The migrated drives will be re-keyed to the target storage array.

  • For the drives you are migrating, you know the security key identifier and the pass phrase that corresponds to the security key file.

  • The security key file is available on the management client (the system with a browser used for accessing

    System Manager ).
