Data-at-Rest Encryption secures all data stored on the DXi8500,
including file data and metadata, configuration files, and the DXi
software and operating system (see Data-at-Rest Encryption on
page 392).
Before you can enable Data-at-Rest Encryption to encrypt all hard drives,
you must add the Data-at-Rest Encryption license. In addition, you must
upload a Premium Feature Key (PFK) file for each Array module in the
DXi8500. Contact your Quantum sales representative to obtain a Data-
at-Rest Encryption license. After you obtain the license, you will receive
a License Certificate containing an authorization code.
