NetBackup status code: 5978

Message: Failed to refresh the certificate revocation list (CRL) and security level.

Explanation: This error can be due to following reasons:

  • Recommended Action: Failed to fetch the CRL via the HTTP request

  • Failed to save the CRL on the disk

  • Failed to fetch the security level via the HTTP request

  • Failed to update the certmapinfo.json with CRL and security level information

  • Failed to get the CRL because a client in the DMZ could not connect to the HTTP tunnel on the media server

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • On the master server, examine the unified logs on the NetBackup server for nbwebservice (OID 466 and 484).

  • On the media server, examine the pbx (OID 103), nbpxytnl (OID 490), and nbpxyhelper (OID 486) logs. pbx is logged to the following directories:

    Windows: install_path\VxPBX\log

    UNIX: /opt/VRTSpbx/log

  • Ensure that the following are online:

    • NetBackup Master server

    • NetBackup Web Management Console service (nbwmc)

    • NetBackup relational database (NBDB)

  • On the host where the error occurred, examine the legacy logs for nbcertcmd.
