NOTE: You cannot edit the encryption system configuration settings when any Dell EKM partition is enabled for library managed encryption. If this happens, go to Setup > Encryption > Partition Configuration and change all Dell EKM partition settings from Library Managed to Application Managed. Then go to Setup > Encryption > System Configuration and make your changes to the system configuration settings. Finally, go back to Setup > Encryption > Partition Configuration and change all the Dell EKM partition settings back to Library Managed. (See Configuring Partition Encryption for Dell EKM.) |
