Troubleshooting common errors during an import

A set of errors that occur when you import the keys and key groups. This section helps you to troubleshoot them.

  • During an import, when you import key groups with the [-preserve_kgname ] option, and if that group already exists in KMS, the entire operation fails.

    You must either delete or rename the existing key groups or exclude the [-preserve_kgname ] option and rerun the import operation.

  • NetBackup KMS has a limit of 100 key groups. Each group has a limit of 30 keys. The operation fails if more than 100 key groups are imported.

    You must delete existing unwanted key groups and rerun the import operation.
