Enable Security

> Enable Security

> You can enable security on the controller. After you enable security, you have the option to create secure virtual drives using a security key.

> There are three procedures you can perform to create secure virtual drives using a security key:

> | Create the security key identifier

> | Create the security key

> | Create a password (optional)

> Create the Security Key Identifier

> The security key identifier appears when you enter the security key. If you have multiple security keys, the identifier helps you determine which security key to enter. The controller provides a default identifier for you. You can use the default setting or enter your own identifier.

> 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.

> Create a Password

> The password provides additional security. The password must 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.
