  • MetroCluster IP
  • Onboard Key Manager (OKM)

Issue

  • After setting up Onboard Key Manager in siteA of MetroCluster IP, fails to  sync the keys on siteB of MetroCluster IP via the command security key-manager onboard sync  with the following error messages:

Error: command failed: This command is available only when the Onboard Key Manager is enabled. Use the "security key-manager onboard enable" command to enable the Onboard Key Manager and then try again.

  • But as instructed, when trying to run security key-manager onboard enable on siteB, it shows a contradictory error :

Error: command failed: This cluster is part of a MetroCluster configuration. The Onboard Key Manager has already been configured at the partner site. Run the "security key-manager onboard sync" with the same passphrase before proceeding with any key manager operations.  Failure to do so could lead to switchover or switchback failure.
