Add a trusted primary server
Replication operations require that a trust relationship exists between the NetBackup servers in the different domains. You can create a trust relationship between the primary servers that both use the NetBackup CA or that both use an external CA.
To add a trusted primary server
- Open the NetBackup web UI.
- Identify the NetBackup versions that are installed and the certificate types that are used on the source and the target servers.
The NetBackup web UI does not support adding a trusted primary that uses NetBackup version 8.0 or earlier. Both servers must use the same certificate type.
- For the servers that use the NetBackup certificate authority (CA), obtain an authorization token for the remote server.
- For the servers that use the NetBackup certificate authority (CA), obtain the fingerprint for each server.
- At the top, select Settings > Global security.
- Select Trusted primary servers.
- Click Add.
- Follow the prompts in the wizard.
- Repeat these steps on the remote primary server.
