IJ53034: RKM.CONF: MISSING PORT NUMBER FROM KMIPSERVERURI

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• For unknown reasons (a possible reason is /tmp full), the update
  of RKM.conf was not able to obtain the KMIP port from a file.
  The code does not check for any error and continues to produce
  the kmipServerUri line with missing port number. Encrypted files
  may not be accessible due to this issue.
  

Local fix

• On the problem node, remove the bad RKM.conf file then run a
  GPFS command to regenerate the RKM.conf file. For example, run
  mmlscluster.

  Benefits of the solution:
  This fix ensures the KMIP port number is not null before
  producing the kmipServerUri line for RKM stanza. If error is
  detected, it stops processing and will not update the RKM.conf
  file. Errors will be logged in syslog and mmfs.log.In this fix,
  a /tmp file system full should not cause a null KMIP port
  number.
  
  Work Around:
  On the problem node, remove the bad RKM.conf file then run a
  GPFS command to regenerate the RKM.conf file. For example, run
  mmlscluster.
  
  Problem trigger:
  mount file system; access file
