Attention — Save/Restore Master Key for Encryption

If using encryption in BRMS or even outside of BRMS, the Save/Restore Master Key needs to be reloaded if the key has been set with something other then the default value of *DEFAULT. If BRMS detects that the key value is not the default value, then an attention block is added to the recovery report to remind you to load and set your Save/Restore Master Key before continuing the system recovery. This Attention block will appear in STEP 014 : Recover All Remaining System and User Data. BRMS will not know the pass phrase used. It is up to you to have the phrase written and secured some place.

-----  Attention  ---------------------------------------------------
You must set your Save/Restore Master Key Value to recover your      
encrypted data.  To do so, you must run the ADDMSTPART command for   
every pass phrase used.                                              
                                                                     
Once the master keys are loaded, you must run the SETMSTKEY command. 
To load your master key:                                             
    ADDMSTPART MSTKEY(*SAVRST) PASSPHRASE('phrase-used')             
    PASSLEN(*CALC)                                                   
To set your master key:                                              
    SETMSTKEY MSTKEY(*SAVRST)
