Error: command failed: Cannot remove key management servers that still contain one or more NSE authentication keys. Use "security key-manager key query -vserver
cluster -key-server x.x.x.x:5696 -key-type NSE-AK" command to find out these keys, and then delete them with the (privilege: advanced) "security
key-manager key delete" before trying to remove the key management servers again.
