Restore encryption on the replacement boot media.

You must complete steps specific to systems that have Onboard Key Manager (OKM), NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) or NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) enabled using the settings that you captured at the beginning of the boot media replace procedure.

Depending on which a key manger is configured on your system, select one of the following options to restore it from the boot menu.

Option 1: Restore the Onboard Key Manager configuration

Restore the Onboard Key Manager (OKM) configuration from the ONTAP boot menu.

Before you begin

Make sure you have following information while restoring the OKM configuration:
- Cluster-wide passphrase entered while enabling onboard key management.
- Backup information for the Onboard Key Manager.
Perform the How to verify onboard key management backup and cluster-wide passphrase procedure before proceeding.

Steps

Connect the console cable to the target controller.

From the ONTAP boot menu select the appropriate option from the boot menu.

Confirm that the controller's console displays the following message.

Waiting for giveback…(Press Ctrl-C to abort wait)
From the partner node, giveback the partner controller by entering the following command.

storage failover giveback -fromnode local -only-cfo-aggregates true.
After booting with only the CFO aggregate, run the following command.

security key-manager onboard sync

Enter the cluster-wide passphrase for the Onboard Key Manager.

Show example prompt

Enter the cluster-wide passphrase for the Onboard Key Manager:

All offline encrypted volumes will be brought online and the corresponding volume encryption keys (VEKs) will be restored automatically within 10 minutes. If any offline encrypted volumes are not brought online automatically, they can be brought online manually using the "volume online -vserver <vserver> -volume <volume_name>" command.

If the sync is successful the cluster prompt is returned with no additional messages. If the sync fails an error message appears before returning to the cluster prompt. Do not continue until the the error is corrected and the sync runs successfully.

Ensure that all keys are synced by entering the following command.

security key-manager key query -restored false.

There are no entries matching your query.

No results should appear when filtering for false in the restored parameter.
Giveback the node from the partner by entering the following command.

storage failover giveback -fromnode local
Restore automatic giveback, if you disabled it, by entering the following command.

storage failover modify -node local -auto-giveback true
If AutoSupport is enabled, restore automatic case creation by entering the following command.

system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=END

Option 2: Restore the External Key Manager configuration

Restore the External Key Manager configuration from the ONTAP boot menu.

Before you begin

- The KMIP server address.
- The KMIP port.
