In this video, we will cover the procedure for enabling security key on the controller and creating secure virtual disk after enabling security key as well as importing the secure virtual disks in a PERC 9 RAID Controller.
Please note, the controller does not allow import of configurations that results in more than 64 virtual disks for an Enterprise Level PERC Controller and 32 virtual disks for an entry level PERC Controller.
To enable security key for the controller and create secure virtual disk: Turn on the Dell 13th generation PowerEdge system and press F2 to go to the System Setup page.
