Generate a new appliance encryption key to replace the existing key
When secure data-at-rest is enabled, the administrator can generate a new AEK. This may be necessary if the copy of the current AEK was lost or compromised.
Prerequisites
Privileges: Infrastructure administrator
Secure data-at-rest option is set to Yes in the screen.
A backup is taken before regenerating the AEK to recover from possible errors encountered during the key generation process.
