  • System and method for self-encrypting drive reversion during re-initialization of a storage array
    Patent number: 11681450
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a re-initialization operation request for a storage array, the storage array including a plurality of self-encrypting drives. A reversion state may be determined for each self-encrypting drive of the plurality of self-encrypting drives. In response to determining that at least one self-encrypting drive is in an unreverted state, at least one predefined reversion key for reverting the at least one self-encrypting drive from a predefined area of the storage array may be accessed. Each self-encrypting drive of the plurality of self-encrypting drives in the unreverted state may be reverted to a reverted state using the at least one predefined reversion key.
