Update and validate Nutanix Prism Central credentials

To validate Prism Central server credentials

  1. On the left, click Nutanix AHV, then click the Prism Central servers tab.
    • To validate specific Prism Central servers credentials, locate and select the Prism Central server. Then either click Validate from the Credentials column or from top bar.

    • To validate the credentials of multiple servers at the same time, locate and select the Prism Central server. Then click Validate from the top bar.

    Note:

    NetBackup verifies the current credentials for the selected Prism Central server.

    If the credentials are not valid, NetBackup indicates Invalid under Credentials. Use the following steps to update the Prism Central server credentials.

To update Prism Central server credentials

  1. On the left, click Nutanix AHV, then click the Prism Central servers tab.
  2. Locate and select the Prism Central server.
  3. Select Actions > Edit.
  4. Update the credentials as needed.

    Note:

    Adding or updating Prism Central server credentials also automatically starts the discovery of the Prism Central server. When backup host information is provided in the request, it is used to perform validation of credentials as well as for performing the discovery. For discovery, NetBackup 9.1 is the minimum version that is supported for a NetBackup media server or client that serves as a backup host.

  5. Click Save.

    NetBackup verifies the updated credentials for the selected Prism Central server.
