Unlocking Secure Disk Drives

You can export a security-enabled array to move the associated disk drives to a different storage subsystem. After you install those disk drives in the new storage subsystem, you must unlock the disk drives before data can be read from or written to the disk drives. To unlock the disk drives, you must supply the security key from the original storage subsystem. The security key on the new storage subsystem will be different and will not be able to unlock the disk drives.

You must supply the security key from a security key file that was saved on the original storage subsystem. You must provide the pass phrase that was used to encrypt the security key file to extract the security key from this file.
