Drive Security Key Mismatch

What Caused the Problem?

The drive security key information does not match between the two controllers and the database on the drives. This problem occurs when power is disrupted during the creation of the drive security key before both controllers' configuration settings (NVSRAM) and the database on the drives are completely updated with the drive security information. While the power was off, one of the controllers was replaced. When the power was restored and the storage subsystem completed the startup operations, the drive security information no longer matches among the controllers and the database on the drives.

The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

Important Notes

You can fix this problem by changing the drive security key.
