Host ID-based certificate deployment in a clustered setup
This section provides information on deployment of host name-based and host ID-based certificates in a NetBackup clustered setup.
For more information about NetBackup clusters, see the NetBackup Clustered Master Server Administrator's Guide.
In a clustered NetBackup master server setup, the host ID-based certificates are deployed as follows:
One certificate for each cluster node: A certificate resides on the local disk of each node.
One certificate for the virtual name: A certificate resides on the shared disk of the cluster.
Consider the following example:
If a cluster setup consists of 4 nodes, 5 host ID-based certificates are deployed. One certificate is deployed on each of the 4 nodes and one on the shared disk, which is used for the virtual name of the master server.
Note:
Only master servers can be clustered in NetBackup.
In a clustered NetBackup master server setup, the host name-based certificates are deployed as follows:
One certificate for each cluster node: A certificate resides on the local disk of each node.
One certificate for the virtual name on each node: A certificate resides on the local disk of each node.
