Abstract
An information handling system includes a host bus adaptor (HBA) that receives a secured media device, and a processor that executes an operating system. In response to the operating system being booted, the baseboard management controller detects a hot plug insertion of the secure media device into the information handling system. The baseboard management controller retrieves a key for the secured media device. In response to the retrieving of the key, the baseboard management controller unlocks the secured media device. The baseboard management controller triggers an enumeration of the secured media device. In response to the trigger, a host bus adaptor driver of the processor enumerates the secured media device.
