Post-installation tasks for NetBackup cluster environments

You may need to take one or more of the following actions after the NetBackup server software is installed in a cluster:

Obtain certificates

You must obtain the Certificate Authority certificate and the host certificate for each inactive node. More information is available:

See Generate a certificate on the inactive nodes of a clustered primary server.

External certificate authority

Configure your external certificate authority. If you opted to skip the security configuration or if you have a primary server, you may need to configure an ECA. More information about configuring ECAs is available:

https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100044300

Restart

You may need to restart each of the cluster nodes after the installation is complete.

WSFC and VCS clusters

Under normal circumstances, cluster configuration is one of the final steps when you install NetBackup in a cluster. If this step is not done or does not complete successfully, you can use the bpclusterutil command from the active node to perform this step.

For information on how to run bpclusterutil, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

WSFC clusters

Any NetBackup resources that you took offline come back online automatically.

See Verifying Windows cluster installations or upgrades.
