Following new security guidelines, it must be ensured that the storage of critical virtual machines will be encrypted in future.
The assignment is to be made by a new category called VM-Storage with a value of softwareencrypted in Prism Central. Make sure a second value of SEDencrypted is also created for future use.
Create the above-mentioned category and perform further configurations in Prism Central for VM-based storage encryption.
Assign the name Encrypted-Storage to the newly created policy.
Answer : A
Here is the step-by-step solution to create the category and the corresponding storage encryption policy within Prism Central.
1. Create the Category
First, you must create the category and the two values requested.
In Prism Central, navigate to Administration > Categories.
Click New Category.
In the Name field, enter VM-Storage.
In the Add a Value field, type softwareencrypted and click the Add (plus) button.
In the Add a Value field again, type SEDencrypted and click the Add (plus) button.
Click Save.
2. Create the Encryption Policy
Next, you will create the security policy that uses the new category.
In Prism Central, navigate to Security > Data-at-Rest Encryption.
Click the + Create Security Policy button.
In the Policy Name field, enter Encrypted-Storage.
Ensure the Encryption Type is set to Software-based.
For Target VMs, select the radio button for VMs matching a category.
In the Select Category dropdown, choose the VM-Storage category you just created.
In the Select Value dropdown, choose softwareencrypted.
Click Save.
This policy will now automatically apply software-based encryption to any new or existing VMs that are assigned the VM-Storage: softwareencrypted category.
