Caution:
To enable encryption on the new PERC H730 controller, you will need the passphrase and
Security Key ID used to enable Data-at-Rest Encryption on the DXi6900 G2. These are found in the
PERC XML file (

). In addition, the customer should have created a
Data-at-Rest Recovery File. The passphrase is contained in the recovery file. Note that accessing the
recovery file requires the password used at the time the file was created.

Home
page (see

l
If the status is
Disabled
, you do not need to enable the encryption keys on the PERC H730
controller. Skip the rest of this procedure.
