Verifying that a Guarded Directory Can be Rekeyed with dataxform

The dataxform --rekey_supported --gp <guard point path> command verifies that the specified GuardPoint is being guarded with a valid data transformation policy and is ready to be rekeyed with dataxform.

In the following example, the GuardPoint has a rekey policy:

# dataxform --rekey_supported --gp /opt/apps/dx2
Checking if data transform is supported for guard point
/opt/apps/dx2
Data transformation is supported on /opt/apps/dx2

In the following example, the GuardPoint has a standard policy and therefore cannot be rekeyed with dataxform.

# dataxform --rekey_supported --gp /opt/apps/apps1/doc<br>
Checking if data transform is supported for guard point<br>
/opt/apps/apps1/doc<br>
The kernel component doesn't support data transform on /opt/apps/apps1/doc

Verify this is a guard point with valid data transformation policy, and check the system log files for any other problems. It may be due to one or more of following reasons; 1.policy has no valid key rule(s), and/or 2. policy has no key_op rule, and/or 3. policy has valid permit rule(s), and/or 4. policy rule that contains key_op in the action field also specifies other actions.

You can also get the message "not a guard point or there is no data transformation rule" when an administrator is inside the GuardPoint or accessing files in the GuardPoint. Check that no one is in the GuardPoint and that a rekey policy is applied to the GuardPoint. If a GuardPoint does not qualify for rekeying, check that a key is configured in the Data Transformation Rules tab of the assigned policy in the Management Console.
