CMMVC7383E: The rekey failed because the proposed new encryption key could not be generated.

Explanation

The rekey operation failed because the new encryption key could not be generated. The USB flash drive might be unusable.

User Response

Cancel the failed rekey operation and replace the USB flash drive before you attempt a new rekey operation.

If the chencryption -usb newkey -key prepare command was issued, then the encryption key file might already exist on the USB flash drive.

Replace the USB flash drive with a blank USB flash drive and retry the command. Securely format or destroy the unusable USB flash drive.
