Establishing communication with clients that do not have new CA certificates after CA migration

In certain scenarios, for example network issue, NetBackup clients may be unreachable during NetBackup CA migration. Such clients may not have new CA certificates and communication with such clients may fail.

To successfully communicate with NetBackup clients that were unreachable during CA migration

  1. Run the following command on the client to get certificate:

    nbcertcmd -getcacertificate -server master_server_name

  2. Run the following command on the client to renew certificates:

    nbcertcmd -renewcertificate -server master_server_name

    For information about commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
