Lenovo Storage V5030 supports optional encryption of data at rest (Lenovo Storage V3700 V2 XP will support the optional encryption on version 8.1.1.1 or above). Encryption protects against the potential exposure of sensitive user data that is stored on discarded, lost, or stolen storage devices. Both of these systems require an encryption license for each enclosure that supports encryption.
To use encryption on the system, you must purchase an encryption license, activate the function on the system, enable encryption, and create copies of the keys. If you add a new encryption-capable control enclosure to a system that has encryption enabled, the control enclosure must also be licensed.
