Figure 44 Change Security Key
4. Either keep the existing security key identifier, or enter a new security key identifier.
NOTE If you change the security key, you need to change the security key
identifier. Otherwise, you cannot differentiate between the security
keys.
5. Either click Suggest to ask the system to create a security key, or you can enter a new security key.
6. Reenter the new security key to confirm it.
CAUTION If you forget the security key, you lose access to your data. Be sure
to record your security key information. You might need to enter the
security key to perform certain operations.
The security key is case sensitive. It must be between 8 and 32 characters and contain at least one number, one
lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, and one nonalphanumeric character (for example, < > @ +). The space
character is not permitted.
NOTE Non-U.S. keyboard users must be careful not to enter DBCS characters
in the Security Key field. The firmware works with the ASCII character
set only.
4.9.3 Disabling Drive Security
If you disable drive security, your existing data is not secure and you cannot create any new secure virtual drives.
Disabling drive security does not affect data security on foreign drives. If you removed any drives that were previously
secured, you still need to enter the password when you import them. Otherwise, you cannot access the data on those
drives.
If there are any secure drive groups on the controller, you cannot disable drive security. A warning dialog appears if
you attempt to do so. To disable drive security, you first must delete the virtual drives on all the secure drive groups.
