Table 40: Destroy the Security Key
Convention MegaCli -DestroySecurityKey | [-Force] -aN
Description Destroys the security key. The controller uses the security key to lock and
unlock access to the secure user data. This key is encrypted into the security
key blob and stored on the controller.
Re-provisioning disables the security system of a device. For a controller, it
involves destroying the security key. For SED drives, when the drive lock key
is deleted, the drive is unlocked and any user data on the drive is securely
deleted.
