Register SED Authentication Key
Overview
This function registers the SED authentication key (common key) that is managed in the storage system.
SEDs are used to prevent the leakage of the stored data when physically removed disks are stolen or lost.
Register the SED authentication key before installing SEDs in the storage system. If an SED is installed without registering the SED authentication key, data leakage in an SED that is removed may occur.
If an SED is installed before registering the SED authentication key, register the SED authentication key and reboot the storage system.
The SED authentication key can only be set once in the storage system. The SED authentication key cannot be changed or deleted after being set.
Registering a common key is also required when the SED authentication key that is managed in the key server is used.
After this function is executed, the SED authentication key is automatically generated and registered in the SED.
The registration status of the SED authentication key can be checked. Refer to the [System Settings] function for details.
