Dell provides the OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM) that assists iDRAC (the Dell PowerEdge server BMC) in securing storage devices on a PowerEdge server. OpenManage SEKM enables you to use an external Key Management Server (KMS) to manage keys that can then be used by iDRAC to lock and unlock storage devices on a Dell PowerEdge server. iDRAC requests the KMS to create a key based on iDRAC Key Policy, and then fetches and provides that key to the storage controller on every host boot so that the storage controller can then unlock the SEDs.
