If you enter a valid authentication key, a confirmation message indicating that EKM is
enabled is displayed as shown in the following figure.

Figure 324: Confirm External Key Management (EKM) Mode Enabled Message

Based on the application’s response at that particular time, you come across two
scenarios. Scenario #1, if EKMS is selected and EKMS is not present. Scenario #2, if
you enter a wrong security key in the Authentication Drive Security Key dialog box in

Figure 323

.

Scenario # 1 – EKM is selected and EKMS is not present

When EKM is selected and EKMS is not present, restart the system, and during re-boot
the boot agent generates the security keys.

When you restart the system, the system restart message appears, as shown in the
following figure.
