Error processing 'filespace namepath-namefile-name': The encryption key is not loaded.
Explanation
The file being processed is encrypted by an encrypted file system (EFS). The option is specified to backup or archive the file in decrypted form. The encryption key, required to decrypt the file, is not loaded in the kernel keyring.
System action
The file is skipped.
User response
There are three situations in which this problem can occur:
- You just performed initial activation of EFS on the AIX system, and have not logged out. AIX does load the keys for the session running at the time of initial activation. Solution: Logout and login again.
- The login password has been changed recently, and you normally run with the EFS password the same as the login password. AIX does not automatically change the EFS password when you change the login password. Solution: Issue 'efskeymgr -n' to set the EFS password to be the same as the login password.
- You need to run the decrypting backup when the EFS password is different from the login password. Solution: Issue 'efskeymgr -o ksh' to launch a new shell with the keys loaded. AIX will prompt you for the EFS password as you launch the shell. Run the backup from the new shell.
