Issue

Cannot delete a volume:

Error: Volume encryption keys (VEK) cannot be created or deleted for data Vserver "svm_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx". External key management has been configured for data Vserver "svm_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" but VEKs for existing encrypted volumes of this data Vserver are stored in key manager configured for the admin Vserver. Either use the (privilege: advanced) "security key-manager key migrate -from-vserver <admin vserver_name> -to-vserver <data vserver_name>" command to migrate existing keys of this data Vserver from the admin Vserver's key manager to this data Vserver's key manager or unconfigure the key manager for this data Vserver.
