# operator unseal
|
|
|
|
The `operator unseal` allows the user to provide a portion of the root key to
|
|
unseal a Vault server. Vault starts in a sealed state. It cannot perform
|
|
operations until it is unsealed. This command accepts a portion of the master
|
|
key (an "unseal key").
|
|
|
|
The unseal key can be supplied as an argument to the command, but this is
|
|
not recommended as the unseal key will be available in your history:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault operator unseal IXyR0OJnSFobekZMMCKCoVEpT7wI6l+USMzE3IcyDyo=
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instead, run the command with no arguments and it will prompt for the key:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault operator unseal
|
|
Key (will be hidden): IXyR0OJnSFobekZMMCKCoVEpT7wI6l+USMzE3IcyDyo=
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information on sealing and unsealing, please the [seal concepts
|
|
page](/vault/docs/concepts/seal).

## Examples
|
|
|
|

|
|
Sealed: false
|
|
Key Shares: 1
|
|
Key Threshold: 1
|
|
Unseal Progress: 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
