These messages are due to a transient failure reading the system's unit key from the virtual EEPROM on a vCMP guest. The error handling from this failure causes misleading messages, but it does successfully read the unit key during this error recovery.

Impact

None. These messages do not indicate an actual problem with the system.

Conditions

These messages can only happen on a vCMP guest with SecureVault, and are very rare.
