This command synchronizes missing onboard keys on any node in the cluster. For example, if you add a node to a cluster that has the Onboard Key Manager configured, you should then run this command to synchronize the keys. In a MetroCluster configuration, if the security key-manager onboard enable command is used to enable the Onboard Key Manager on one site, then run the security key-manager onboard sync command on the partner site. In a MetroCluster configuration, if the security key-manager onboard update-passphrase command is used to update the passphrase on one site, then run this command with the new passphrase on the partner site before proceeding with any key management operations.

The following example synchronizes the Onboard Key Manager key database across all nodes in the cluster. In a MetroCluster configuration, this command synchronizes nodes in the local site.
