Error: command failed: MetroCluster cannot be configured while keymanager is configured on both partner sites. Disable keymanager on one of the partner sites and then proceed with MetroCluster configuration. After successfully configuring MetroCluster, configure key manager on the partner site where it was disabled. If using onboard key manager, run the "security key-manager onboard sync" command on the partner site. Otherwise, if using external key manager, run the "security key-manager external enable" command on the partner site.
