Issue

In a situation where 'volume rehost' is attempted

  • from a Cloud key manager enabled vserver.
  • to a vserver with no key manager.
  • no key-manager configured in the admin vserver.

Will result in the cloud keystore being in a mixed state
  • Vserver encryption will be in a state where encrypted volumes cannot be created, deleted or moved.

In this state, the cloud key manager SHOULD NOT be disabled.
Doing so would lead to
  • the SVM-KEK being deleted.
  • all encrypted volumes associated with the vserver becoming inaccessible after a subsequent node reboot.
