Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • CipherTrust Manager v2.12.x 

Issue

  • Volume delete, sends KMIP destroy operation to CipherTrust Manager kmip server which only removes the key material, not the key metadata
  • This behavior causes the CipherTrust Manager to retain the metadata key records with no key material
  • Once CipherTrust Manager reaches its tested database limit of 100,000, this can impact key manager operations and scalability for all applications
