Dell Technologies OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM)

This feature allows the PERC to receive a security key from a remote server instead of saving the key on a local controller. This protects data on secured disks under the PERC if the disks or the entire system is stolen. For more information about configuring OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM) and Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) related configuration, see the iDRAC User's Guide available on the support site. See the Enable OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM) on PowerEdge Servers technical white paper available on the Dell support site.

NOTE:When replacing a controller enabled with enterprise key management, you must re-enable enterprise key management on the controller from iDRAC.
NOTE:If key exchange fails during boot, view and correct any connection issues with the key server that is identified in the iDRAC Lifecycle log, and then cold reboot the server.
NOTE:VDs will no longer be automatically rekeyed when they are unlocked. They will be rekeyed only when they are imported. Non-RAID and unconfigured drives will still be automatically rekeyed.
NOTE:The Relock property is available in NVMe drives for both native and foreign locked drives and SAS/SATA for foreign locked drives.
NOTE:Support for reconfiguring NVMe drives is allowed for PDs and other drives that have to be erased to change the format.
