TABLE 10
General errors and conditions
Problem
Connection to a key vault returns a "Not Responding"
message.
LUN state for some LUNS remains in "initialize" state on the
passive path.
226
lists the commands you can use to check the health of your encryption setup.
Activity
Check whole system configuration.
Run RAS logs.
Run RAS traces.
Run Security Processor (SP) logs (mainly kpd.log).
Check whole system persistent configuration database dump.
Check for SPM-, CVLM-, and CNM-related persistent database entries.
Check for redirection zones starting with "red_xxx" in defined database for
virtual and physical devices.
Check for crypto virtual target and crypto virtual initiator entries for VT/VI
Check key vault connection status.
Check encryption group/cluster status.
Note: CONVERGED status means the cluster is formed successfully.

Resolution
Determine if the default port has been changed on the key vault.
This is expected behavior. The LUNs exposed through Passive paths of the
target array will be in either Initialize or LUN Discovery Complete state so long
as the paths remain in passive condition. When the passive path becomes
active, the LUN changes to Encryption Enabled. Use the --show -LUN
command with the -stat option to check the LUN state.
Check encryption group/cluster member status.
Note: DISCOVERED state means the member is currently part of a cluster.
Check encryption engine/SP and KEK status.
Note: SP state ONLINE means encryption engine is enabled for
encryption with valid KEK (Link Key or Master Key).
