8.2.6 Rekey

The Rekey operation generates a new set of encryption keys for the controller. It is applicable only when SED-based encryption is configured in Remote Key Management mode and the controller supports the Remote Key Management Rekey feature. No master key or controller password input is required; the controller rotates its keys against the configured Key Management Server (KMS).

Perform the following steps to enable the rekey:
  1. In Enterprise tab, select a system, and then select a controller.
  2. On the ribbon, in the Controller group, click Security Settings.
  3. In the Self Encrypting Drive (SED) Based Encryption dialog, click the Settings tab.
  4. Select the Rekey check box.
  5. Click OK.
