Applies to

  • Onboard Key Manager (OKM)
  • NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)
  • ONTAP 9.0 and later

Answer

  • Onboard Key Manager (OKM) has a backup feature that will allow for recovery in disaster scenarios.
  • In the event of a head swap, cfcard replacement or cfcard corruption, manual recovery of the keys has to be performed.
  • If there is no passphrase or securitykey-manager onboard show-backup data at that time, data access to the encrypted drive/volume will not be possible.
  • There is no case of using OKM passphrase or show-backup data other than the above restore operation.
