Answer

  • If FIPS disks or self-encrypting disks are being used, it's recommended to rekey the disks to the default msid before shutting down the nodes
  • Ensure that the cluster-wide passphrase is known if using Onboard Key Manager and collect an OKM backup
  • Once the headswap is completed, during bootup, perform an 'Option 6' at the boot menu on both nodes
  • Once the option 6 is completed, both nodes should boot up and restore the keys
  • In the event that volumes are offline due to failed key-import, run the command below using the cluster-wide passphrase
security key-manager onboard sync
