Add a trusted master server

Note:

The NetBackup web UI does not support adding a trusted master that uses version 8.0 or earlier.

You can create a trust relationship between the master servers that use the NetBackup CA or an external CA.

To add a trusted master server

  1. For the servers that use the NetBackup certificate authority (CA), first obtain an authorization token for each server and the fingerprint for each server.
  2. At the top, select Settings > Global security.
  3. Select Trusted master servers.
  4. Click the Add button.
  5. Follow the prompts in the wizard.
  6. Repeat these steps on the remote master server.
More information

For more information on using an external CA with NetBackup, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
