Applying the local key on a RAID controller

Before applying the local key on a RAID controller, make sure that the controller is security-capable.

To apply the local key 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 Key Encryption.
Select the controller to apply a local key and click Next.
Click Set up local key encryption and click Next.
- NOTE: Some controller options are disabled if they do not support encryption.
Enter the Encryption Key Identifier that is associated with the entered passphrase. The Encryption Key Identifier is a passphrase hint; you must enter the passphrase when Lifecycle Controller prompts this hint.
In the New Passphrase field, enter a passphrase.
- NOTE: The controller uses the passphrase to encrypt the disk drive data. A valid passphrase contains 8–32 characters. It must include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols without spaces.
In the Confirm Passphrase field, re-enter the passphrase, and then click Finish.
