5.6 Controller Support for SED

An SED (Self Encrypting Drive) is a type of hard drive that automatically and continuously encrypts the data on the drive without any user interaction. If an SED gets locked, the volumes on the array may become degraded or inaccessible. If this occurs, unlock the SED(s) and warm-boot the server.

This section lists the operations that are allowed/not allowed based on the array status, logical device status, physical device's SED security status, and SED qualification status.
