Migration
Secured virtual disks created on a PERC H700 or H800 card can be migrated
to another PERC H700 or H800 card. A virtual disk secured with a local
security key different from the current controller security key cannot be
imported without authentication of the original passphrase used to secure
them.
When importing secured virtual disk(s) created with a different security key,
the secured foreign configuration(s) do not show in the Foreign
Configuration View screen. Follow the steps below to import or clear a
foreign secured virtual disk.
NOTE: If you are importing secured and unsecured virtual disks, you are prompted
to resolve the secured foreign configuration first.
