Based on this slide from the netapp university and the following doc, it looks to me like NVE is OKM only.

Anyone have any information to support otherwise?

I am just beginning to research a possible deployment of a new 9.1 system hoping to utilize NVE with an external key management server. It turns out the Onboard Key Manager does not appear to be FIPS compliant.

I am not very far down this rabbit hole yet, but the documents I am reading so far only mention the Onboard Key Manager for use with NVE in 9.1

Could anyone (a) confirm the NVE feature is able to work with an external key management server and (b) recommend any that i might research.

Thanks, Jordan
