Logical drives remain offline
If cryptographic information is missing, logical drives remain offline after system start. General causes
include a missing, incorrect, or inaccessible key. Restoring the cryptographic information to match the
attached drives results in the appropriate access to the logical drive.
Possible causes
•
Encryption is not enabled.
•
The matching Master Encryption Key is missing or incorrect.
•
The controller password was enabled but is not entered or is incorrect.
Possible causes (Remote Mode only)
•
Network connectivity issues are occurring between HP iLO and the HP ESKM 3.1.
•
HP iLO is not configured properly.
•
The Drive Keys are missing from the HP ESKM 3.1.
•
The Drive Encryption Keys and HP iLO groups are mismatched.
