SANtricity 11.8 Commands ( CA08871-194 ~ 196 )

Getting started with internal key management

A security key is a string of characters, which is shared between the secure-enabled drives and controllers in a storage system. When using internal key management, you create and maintain security keys on the controller’s persistent memory.

See SANtricity System Manager online help for conceptual information on using internal security keys.

The following is the basic workflow for using internal security keys:

  1. Create security keys

  2. Set security keys

  3. Validate security key

Workflow steps

The following commands get you started with internal security keys:

  1. Create a storage system security key, using the create storageArray securityKey command. See Creating a storage system security key.

  2. Set the storage system security key, using the set storageArray securityKey command. See Setting a storage system security key.

  3. Validate the security key, using the validate storageArray securityKey command. See Validating a storage system security key.
