DESCRIPTION
       You can use the master-key command to manipulate the system master key.
       Users with the Administrator role or the Certificate Manager role can
       set the key to a value of their choosing by using the
       'prompt-for-password' option during a modify operation. All other
       roles, including Resource Administrators, are prohibited from setting
       the master key.

       Use the 'diagnostic' option of the run command to test the key
       integrity.

EXAMPLES
       show master-key

       Displays, in a table, information about the system's master key.

       show master-key field-fmt

       Displays, in field format, information about the system's master key.

       run master-key diagnostic

       Loads the device key. Uses the device key to decrypt the master key
       file to test the integrity of the keys. On success, there is no output.
       There will be a response only if there is an error.

       modify master-key prompt-for-password

       Create a master-key based on a word or phrase of your choosing. You can
       use this to manually synchronize several devices without having to copy
       keys between them.

OPTIONS
