Disable the Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM) feature
The SEKM mode can be disabled only by using the iDRAC interfaces such as GUI and RACADM.
For information about disabling SEKM, see the "SEKM Functionalities" section in the releavant iDRAC User's Guide available on the support site. Also see the Enable OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM) on Dell PowerEdge Servers technical white paper available on the support site.
