Issue

  • When attempting a MetroCluster switchback or switchback simulation, the operation fails with the following error message:

Errors: Failed to validate the node and cluster components before the switchback operation. Cluster1 (overridable veto): Partner cluster node: cluster1-01 missing key manager encryption key with key-id 00000000000000000200xxxxxx0000000

  • Running security key-manager external show-status confirms both clusters can reach the external KMIP servers.
  • Key count mismatch is observed between the clusters (e.g., 25 keys on one, 55 on the other).
