Connectivity cannot be established for the host specified for the encryption key manager. This message is issued as a delayed response to a SETIOS EKM,PRIMARY=, SETIOS EKM,SECONDARY=, SET IOS=xx, D IOS,EKM,VERIFY= command. It is also issued during an encryption of a tape when the primary key manager failed to connect.
The system will still attempt connections with the primary or secondary host names in case that the error is temporary.
If the host name is in error, issue a SETIOS EKM command to specify a correct encryption key manager, or NONE, to disable the in-band key management. Contact the system programmer to verify that the encryption key manager is currently running and TCP/IP and USS work correctly.
To determine the reason for the socket failure see z/OS UNIX System Services Messages and Codes or z/OS Communications Server: IP Diagnosis Guide.
For USS FAILURE, verify that USS is active.
For OMVS SEGMENT FAILURE FOR IOSAS, verify that IOSAS has permissions to an OMVS segment and that the security product is running.
