CMMVC1101E The command failed because a recovery key rekey operation is in progress.

Explanation

The user has attempted to prepare a new encryption key. An encryption recovery key is enabled on the system and is currently in the prepared or confirmed state. Only one rekey operation can be in progress at once.

User response

The rekey operation must either be confirmed and committed, or canceled. Use the lsencryption command to check the status of the rekey operation in progress for the recovery key.

If the recovery key is in the prepared state, confirm and commit the rekey operation in progress by entering the following commands:

chencryption -recoverykey newkey -key confirm
chencryption -recoverykey newkey -key commit

If the recovery key is in the confirmed state, commit the rekey operation in progress by entering the following command:

chencryption -recoverykey newkey -key commit

If the recovery key is in the confirmed state, cancel the rekey operation in progress by entering the following command:

chencryption -recoverykey newkey -key cancel

Once the rekey operation is complete, retry the original command.
