If your BlackPearl system includes Self Encrypting Drives (SEDs), use the encryption service
to set the level of encryption, configure passwords, and unlock the drives so that they are
usable for data transfer.
Note:
This feature only applies to disk-based storage. Tape storage encryption is
configured on the tape library. See your
for information about
tape encryption.
Configure the Encryption Service
Use the encryption service to set the level of encryption and create a password to unlock the
drives following a system power cycle. You can select to store the password on the system,
so that the drives are unlocked automatically, or to save the password to a USB key that is
used when needed to unlock the drives, and is otherwise stored in a safe location.
