Receiving Permission denied message

If you experience a Permission denied failure while creating, opening, reading, or writing to a file, perform the following diagnostic steps:

  1. Confirm that the key server is operational and correctly set up and can be accessed through the network.
  2. Confirm that the /var/mmfs/etc/RKM.conf file is present on all nodes from which the file is supposed to be accessed. The /var/mmfs/etc/RKM.conf file must contain entries for all the RKMs needed to access the file.
  3. Verify that the master keys needed by the file and the keys that are specified in the encryption policies are present on the key server.
  4. Examine the error messages in the /var/adm/ras/mmfs.log.latest file.
