3.4.1.2 Create the Security Key You need to enter the security key to perform certain operations. You can choose a
strong security key that the controller suggests.
CAUTION: If you forget the security key, you will lose access to your data.
3.4.1.3 Create a Password The password provides additional security. The password should be different from the
security key. You can select a setting in the utilities so that you must enter the password
whenever you boot your server.
CAUTION: If you forget the password, you will lose access to your data.
When you use the specified security key identifier, security key, and password, security
is enabled on the controller.
3.4.2 Change Security You can change the security settings on the controller, and you have the option to
change the security key identifier, security key, and password. If you have previously
removed any secured drives, you still need to supply the old security key to import
them.
You can perform three procedures to change the security settings on the controller:
 Change the security key identifier
 Change the security key
 Change a password
See Section 4.7, Selecting SafeStore Encryption Services Security Options for the
procedures used to change security options in WebBIOS or Section 11.6, LSI SafeStore
Encryption Services for the procedures used to change security options in the
MegaRAID Storage Manager software.
3.4.2.1 Change the Security Key
Identifier
You have the option to edit the security key identifier. If you plan to change the security
key, it is highly recommended that you change the security key identifier. Otherwise,
you will not be able to differentiate between the security keys.
You can select whether you want to keep the current security key identifier or enter a
new one. To change the security key identifier, enter a new security key identifier.
3.4.2.2 Change the Security Key You can choose to keep the current security key or enter a new one. To change the
security key, you can either enter the new security key or accept the security key that
the controller suggests.
3.4.2.3 Add or Change the Pass
Word
You have the option to add a password or change the existing one. To change the
password, enter the new password. To keep the existing password, enter the current
password. If you choose this option, you must enter the password whenever you boot
your server.
This procedure updates the existing configuration on the controller to use the new
security settings.
