Retaining host ID-based certificates when reinstalling NetBackup on non-primary hosts
Administrators may want to uninstall NetBackup from a host, and then perform a clean installation on the same host. See the following procedure for instructions on how to retain the identity of a host through the uninstall/reinstall process.
To retain host ID-based certificates when reinstalling NetBackup
- Stop all NetBackup services on the host.
- Back up the following directories:
On Windows:
Install_path\NetBackup\var\VxSS
Install_path\NetBackup\var\webtruststore
On UNIX:
/usr/openv/var/vxss
/usr/openv/var/webtruststore
- Where NetBackup Cluster Server is used, also back up the following directories:
Shared_disk\var\global\vxss
Shared_disk\var\global\webtruststore
- Reinstall NetBackup on the host.
- Restore the data that was backed up in step 2 and step 3.
