Attempting to convert a plain-text volume to a NVE volume fails with an error similar to below:

::> volume encryption conversion start -vserver vserver1 -volume vol0

Error: command failed: Failed to start conversion on volume "vol0" in Vserver "vserver1". Reason: Internal
       error. Use the "cluster show" command to verify that all nodes are healthy. Wait a few minutes and try the
       operation again.
