Generate authentication key

You can use the apsedkey generate command to create AEK suitable for the SED drives.

Procedure

  1. Log in as apuser or equivalent.
  2. Run the following command to generate the AEK: 
    apsedkey generate --file <file>

    The command generates a 256 bit key into the key file specified by the file argument. This can be a path to a file, such as /tmp/mykey.txt.

    Example: 
    [apuser@sfm02-node0103]# apsedkey generate --file /tmp/key1.txt
