For the "Encrypt Using an Existing Key" part, it emphasizes that "If data is already encrypted with a key, you must specify that key’s <UID> for the --kmipKeyIdentifier option. Otherwise, MongoDB will not start and log an error."
This is not the case at least with 3.2.8. Mongod already keeps track of the UID it's using and I don't have to pass the --kmipKeyIdentifier option when it's restarted.
