NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Renew the Alta View token

After the data collector is registered with Alta View for data collection, the connection between the Alta View server and the NetBackup primary server is established.

You can view the registration and the connection status using the NetBackup web UI.

See View and modify the data collector registration.

However, the Alta View server may be disconnected from the primary server if the token of Alta View has expired.

To renew the Alta View token

  1. On the top right, click Settings > Data collector registration.
  2. Verify if the WebSocket status is disconnected because the token has expired.
  3. In the Alta View UI, on the NetBackup domains > Hosts tab, select the primary server that is disconnected from this Alta View server.
  4. Click Actions > Generate token.

    Copy the token.

  5. In the NetBackup web UI, on the Data collector registration screen, click Renew Cohesity Alta View token.
  6. In the Renew Cohesity Alta View token dialog box, enter the token that you have generated in the Alta View UI.
  7. Click Renew.
