To reissue a certificate, you require a reissue token in most cases. A reissue token is associated with the host ID.
Depending on the security level, an authorization token may be required for a non-master NetBackup host to obtain a host ID-based certificate. The NetBackup administrator of the master server generates the token and shares it with the administrator of the non-master host. That administrator can then deploy the certificate without the presence of the master server administrator.
Do not create an authorization token for a NetBackup host whose current certificate is not in a valid state because it is lost, corrupt, or expired. In these cases, a reissue token must be used.
