Issue

  • As part of takeover/giveback, a pre-check is done to ensure that all keys necessary to keep the volumes online are available on the destination node.
  • If root volume encryption is enabled on an SVM, the pre-check incorrectly assumes that the SVM root volume key is missing and returns a soft veto, blocking the takeover/giveback operation.

An example error message upon hitting this issue would look like below:
Giveback of one or more SFO aggregates failed
