CONTAP-64633: In rare cases, a clustered key server may not serve keys
Issue
- A clustered key server is comprised of one primary key server and up to three secondary key servers.
- The three secondary key servers are redundant to the primary key server.
- When a request is sent to the primary key server, if it is not available, the request will be sent to the first secondary key server.
- If the first secondary key server is unavailable, the request is sent to the next secondary key server.
- This continues until either the request is serviced or there are no more secondary key servers to try.
- There was an instance where a primary key server received a request.
- The primary key server available but unable to service the request.
- Because the primary key server was available, the request was not passed on to any of the secondary key servers.
- Due to this, the request was not properly serviced.
