EMC Proven Professional – ECS Specialist — Question 2

A backup administrator has enabled encryption on a Dell EMC Data Domain system. They are currently trying to change the encryption passphrase.
What is a consideration when changing the encryption passphrase?

Answer options

• A. User with Admin role is sufficient to change the passphrase
• B. Passphrase can be only changed from the command line
• C. Encryption must be disabled to change the passphrase
• D. File system must be disabled before changing the passphrase

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a user with the Admin role has the necessary permissions to change the encryption passphrase. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as the passphrase can be changed through the GUI as well, encryption does not need to be disabled, and the file system does not have to be disabled for this action.
