Cisco UCS C3260/C3X60 re-branding. |
Beginning with Cisco UCS Manager Release 3.1(3), Cisco UCS C3260/C3X60 is renamed to Cisco UCS S3260. You may still see certain components in the system labeled as C3260/C3X60. For this release, the terms S3260 and C3260/C3X60 are used interchangeably. Both, S3260 and C3260/C3X60, refer to the same hardware component. |

Security Policies for Self-Encrypting Drives, and KMIP Support |
Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) have a special hardware that encrypts incoming data and decrypts outgoing data in real-time. A media encryption key controls this encryption and decryption. SEDs need to be locked by providing a security key identifier and a security key. The security key is used to encrypt the media encryption key. You can configure security keys locally, or remotely using a KMIP server. In this release, Cisco UCS Manager supports SEDs on Cisco UCS C-Series and S-Series servers. |
