Creating a secure virtual disk on a RAID controller

Make sure that the controller is encrypted with a local key. For more information on encrypting with a local key, see Key Encryption.

To create a secure virtual disk on a RAID controller:

Start Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Starting Lifecycle Controller.
In the left pane, click Hardware Configuration.
In the right pane, click Configuration Wizards.
Under Storage Configuration Wizards, click RAID Configuration to launch the wizard. The View Current RAID Configuration and Select Controller page is displayed along with the information on whether the displayed virtual disk is secure.
Select a security capable controller and click Next. If the non-RAID disks are attached to the selected controller, select the non-RAID physical disk-drives, and then click Next to initialize them. Else, the Select RAID Level page is displayed.
- NOTE: During initialization, all the data on the non-RAID disk drives are deleted.
Select the RAID level and click Next. The Select Physical Disks page is displayed.
- NOTE: Create boot virtual disks only from disk drives populated across slots 0–3 of the system. For slot information, see the system Owner’s Manual.
From the Encryption Capability drop-down menu, select Self-encryption. The self-encryption disks (SEDs) are displayed.
Select the SEDs and specify the properties, and then click Next. The Virtual Disk Attributes page is displayed.
Select the virtual disk parameters, select the Secure Virtual Disk option, and click Next. The Summary page is displayed.
To apply the RAID configuration, click Finish.
