NetBackup KMS status code: 61

Message: Failed to import keystore file into the KMS Database

Explanation: The keystore import fails due to the following reasons:

  • The secure keystore file cannot be opened

  • There was an error reading the contents of the secure keystore file (incorrect format).

  • Keystore file import failed.

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

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.

Recommended Action: Take the following actions, depending on the scenario:

  • Make sure that a valid keystore file is present.

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

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