The DSM root filesystem is encrypted for enhanced security. A DSM System administrator can set a passphrase at
boot time to unlock the system.
Note
Setting a boot passphrase is not required. Users who prefer an unattended boot, can continue to use the
DSM without a passphrase. However in the interest of better security, we recommend that you set a boot
passphrase. See
"Set boot passphrase" on page 40
for details.
Disk Re-encryption after initial setup
If you choose to re-encrypt the disk and create a new master key later after the initial setup, you need to do the
following:

If your system is part of an HA deployment, you need to break up the cluster, this procedure is described here,
"Upgrading an HA Cluster" on page 142
l
If you have any configuration information or data created after the initial setup of your DSM, backup your DSM,
this procedure is described here,
"Backup current DSM configuration" on page 114
.
l
Restore the system to factory defaults.
