Deleting host ID-based certificates
Use this topic to manually delete host ID-based certificate of a NetBackup host. You may need to delete certificates in certain scenarios, for example: A NetBackup host is moved from one NetBackup domain to another NetBackup domain. In this scenario, the current host ID-based certificate needs to be deleted and the host must have a certificate issued by the new Certificate Authority (CA) that is the new master server.
Caution:
Manually deleting the host ID-based certificates may adversely impact NetBackup functionality.
Note:
During NetBackup software removal, host ID-based certificates are automatically deleted.
To delete a host ID-based certificate from a NetBackup host
- Run the following command on the NetBackup host to view the details of all associated host ID-based certificates.
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbcertcmd -listCertDetails
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\nbcertcmd -listCertDetails
- To delete a certificate, run the following command on the host:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbcertcmd -deleteCertificate -hostid host_ID
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\nbcertcmd -deleteCertificate -hostid host_ID
To delete a host ID-based certificate from an active node in a cluster setup
- Run the following command on the active node to view the details of all associated host ID-based certificates.
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbcertcmd -listCertDetails -cluster
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\nbcertcmd -listCertDetails -cluster
- To delete a certificate, run the following command on the active node of the cluster:
nbcertcmd -deleteCertificate -hostid host_ID -cluster
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbcertcmd -hostid host_ID -cluster]
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\nbcertcmd -hostid host_ID -cluster
