There should be no output for encryption setting of logical drive 0 and 1 as encryption is disabled at
controller level.
2.
Enable encryption
Enable Encryption on all controllers and then logical drives of ConvergedSystem 500. The below
command shows enabling the controllers.
Controller at Slot 0 is for internal drives and Controller at Slot 2/9 is used for external drives.
3.
Enable encryption on slot 0:
host # hpssacli ctrl slot=0 enableencryption eula=yes encryption=on
masterkey=Hello1234\$ password=Goodbye123\$
IMPORTANT: Record the Master Key. A method does not exist for recovering or displaying the Master
Key once the value is set. Failure to provide the Master Key may result in encrypted data being
inaccessible.
Master Key Info:
Host Name: XXXXXXXX
Controller Name: Smart Array P830i in Slot 0 (Embedded) Controller Serial
Number: 0014380261B4700
Master Key: Hello1234$
The value of masterkey and password is customer specified and confidential Similarly enable
encryption for other controllers available on other slots.
4.
Verify if encryption is enabled at the controller level:
host # hpssacli ctrl slot=0 show |grep 'Encryption: Enabled'
Encryption: Enabled
5.
Enable encryption on the logical drives:
NOTE:
Encryption is not required for SSD drives
used for caching logs and data.
Once encryption is enabled at the controller level, logical drives will also have the option to enable
encryption.
6.
Verify encryption status on the the logical drive:
host # hpssacli ctrl slot=0 ld 1 show |grep -i encryption
Encryption: Off
Encryption of logical drives need to be done one at a time.
Encryption of logical drives will take several hours to complete and runs in background.
7.
Enable Encryption on logical drive (ld) 1 at slot=0 controller.
host # hpssacli controller slot=0 ld 1 encode preservedata=yes user=crypto
password=Goodbye123\$
On successful completion of the above command, the system will not display any output.
8.
Verify the status of encryption for logical drive 1:
host # hpssacli ctrl slot=0 ld 1 show |grep -i status
Status: Encryption Encode Running, 22.86% complete
