This command unlocks one or more Full Disk Encryption (FDE) disk drives that you have imported from one storage subsystem to another storage subsystem. Only the FDE disk drives with the matching security key from the imported storage subsystem are unlocked. After they are unlocked, the security key for the new storage subsystem is applied.
import storageSubsystem securityKey file=fileName | passPhrase=passPhraseString
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
file | The file that has the original security key of the imported FDE disk drives. The file has an extension of .slk. |
passPhrase | The character string that provides authentication for the security key. The pass phrase is 8 to 32 characters in length. You must use at least one number, one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, and one non-alphanumeric character in the pass phrase. A space is not permitted. |
The controller firmware creates a lock that restricts access to the FDE disk drives. FDE disk drives have a state called Security Capable. When you create a security key, the state is set to Security Enabled, which restricts access to all FDE disk drives that exist within the storage subsystem.
