NetBackup™ Status Codes Reference Guide

NetBackup status code: 5979

Message: The certificate revocation list (CRL) in the certificate is invalid.

Explanation: The error can be due to following reasons:

  • Explanation: The host failed to get the CRL when it requested the certificate via the HTTP request.

  • The CRL is empty or has an invalid format.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • On the host where the error occurred, examine the legacy logs for nbcertcmd. Use these logs to help troubleshoot issues that appear in the web services.

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

  • Restart the services on the master server. Then, retry the following command for the host to fetch the CRL:

    ./nbcertcmd -getCrl
