Key Server DN attribute for fault tolerence
3. Make sure all servers are communicating properly
4. Ensure every server is up an running and eDirectory database is open
5. Server Abend can cause reporting of - 672 errors when creating tree-key files with sdidiag
6. Run RD -T from sdidiag prompt of one of the Key servers(Servers in Key server DN).
