How will I be notified of write/read
errors or Q-EKM server problems?
Q-EKM does not report these types of errors. Errors are
reported in the following ways:
• The host/ISV application reports read and write
failures.
• The library issues a RAS ticket when a write or read
operation fails.
• The library issues a RAS ticket when it cannot
communicate with a Q-EKM server.
How will I know if one of the Q-EKM
servers in a pair goes down and fails over
to the other one?
The library issues RAS tickets when:
• The primary server failed and successful failover to the
secondary server occurred.
• A key request to a Q-EKM server failed.
How will I know if both Q-EKM servers
go down?
If both servers go down, the library issues RAS tickets for
key server communication failure.
How will I know if just the secondary
Q-EKM server goes down (while the
primary is still working fine)?
If Automatic EKM Path Diagnostics is enabled, the library
will issue a RAS ticket if it cannot communicate with the
secondary Q-EKM server. If Automatic EKM Path
Diagnostics is not enabled, then you will not be notified.
Will I be notified if synchronization
between the primary and secondary
servers fails?
Not specifically. The Q-EKM audit log reports an error but
Q-EKM does not overtly notify you. However,
synchronization can only occur when both servers are
running and connected. The library issues RAS tickets for
server communication failure, which can signify that
synchronization failed.
