Rekeying the system with key servers

Rekeying is the process of creating a new key for the system. To create a new key, encryption must be enabled on the system; however, the rekey operation works whether or not there are encrypted arrays. Only certain models support encryption. Verify that your model supports encryption before proceeding.

During the rekey process, the key server generates a new key and the existing key becomes obsolete.

Before creating an new key on all configured key servers, the key servers must be online and connected to the system. In the management GUI, select Settings > Security > Encryption. Expand Key Servers to display details on all the configured key servers on the system. Verify that the status of the key servers is online and available to the system.
