Issue

  • Switchback simulate fails with Onboard Key Manager key mismatch:

cluster2::*> metrocluster switchback -simulate 
[Job 783] Aborting the switchback operation...
[Job 783] Job failed: Failed to validate the node and cluster components before the switchback operation. Use the "metrocluster operation show" command to view detailed error information. Resolve the errors, then try the command again.                                                                       

cluster2::*> metrocluster operation show
       Operation: switchback-simulate
           State: failed
      Start Time: 6/24/2025 14:01:01
        End Time: 6/24/2025 14:01:31
          Errors: Failed to validate the node and cluster components before the switchback operation.
                  cluster2 (overridable veto): Internal Error. Onboard Key Manager hierarchy key mismatch between peer clusters. The local and partner clusters do not have the same list of NSE-AK keys, SVM-KEK keys and CP-KEK keys.
