Enable Disk Group Security

Description

This command converts a non-secure disk group to a secure disk group.

Syntax

enable diskGroup [
                                 diskGroupName] security

Parameter

Parameter	Description
diskGroup	The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of the disk group that you want to place in the Security Enabled state. Enclose the disk group identifier in square brackets ([ ]).

Additional Information

To successfully run this command, the following conditions must be met:

All physical disks in the disk group must be self-encrypting disk (SED) physical disks.
The Physical Disk Security premium feature must be enabled.
The storage array security key must be set.
The disk group must be Optimal, and not have snapshot virtual disks or repository virtual disks.

The RAID controller module firmware creates a lock that restricts access to the SED physical disks. SED physical disks have a state called Security Capable. When you create a security key, the state is set to Security Enabled, which restricts access to all SED physical disks that exist within the storage array.
