Unifying NetBackup Management infrastructures with the setuptrust command

The Veritas products management servers need to communicate so that an administrator for one product has permission to administer another product. This communication ensures that application processes in one management server work with another server. One way of ensuring that communication is to use a common independent security server called a root broker. If all of the management servers point to a common root broker, the permission for each server is based on a common certificate. Another way of ensuring communication is to use the setuptrust command. This command is used to establish trust between the two management servers. The command is issued from the management server that needs to trust another management server. The security information is transferred from that host to the one requesting the trust establishment. A one-way trust is established. Setting up two way (mutual) trust is performed by issuing the setuptrust command from each of the two servers involved.

Details on the setuptrust command are described in the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. See Using the setuptrust command.
