Complete the following:

o

Under Create Crypto Officer Password, enter and re-enter the password in the fields provided.

o

Under Encryption Mode, select one of the following:

Enable and Allow Future Plaintext Volumes: Allowing future plaintext volumes still requires

authentication by the Crypto Officer or the User if attempting to create a plaintext logical drive.

Enable and Disallow Future Plaintext Volumes: This option prevents the creation of new plaintext

volumes on the controller. This setting can be changed later by the Crypto Officer. Selecting this

option does not prevent the migration of a set of drives with existing plaintext volumes to the

controller.

Enter the name of the Master Key that was created on the ESKM in the field provided. The Master
Key name must be between 8 and 64 characters.

IMPORTANT:

HP recommends setting up a password recovery question and answer after initial

configuration. If the Crypto Officer password is lost and a recovery question and answer have not

been set, you will need to erase and reconfigure all HP Secure Encryption settings in order to reset

the Crypto Officer password. For more information, see "Set or change the password recovery
question (on page
