Remove a trusted primary server

You can remove a trusted primary server, which removes the trust relationship between primary servers. Note the following implications:

  • Any replication operations fail that require the trust relationship.

  • A remote primary server is not included in any usage reporting after you remove the trust relationship.

To remove a trusted primary server, you must perform the following procedure on both the source and the target server.

To remove a trusted primary server

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. Ensure that all replication jobs to the target primary server are complete.
  3. Delete all storage lifecycle policies (SLPs) that use the trusted primary as a destination. Before deleting an SLP, ensure that there are no backup policies or protection plans that use the SLP for storage.
  4. At the top right, select Settings > Global security.
  5. Select the Trusted primary servers tab.
  6. Locate the server that you want to remove.
  7. Select Actions > Remove.
  8. Select Remove trust.

Note:

If you use multiple NICs, if you established trust using more that one host NIC and if you remove the trust relationship with any one host NIC, the trust with all the other host NICs is broken.
