Validating instance group credentials

Credentials for an instance group are not validated when an instance or a replica is registered automatically. You should periodically validate the credentials for the objects in the group. For a cluster instance, note that NetBackup validates the credentials on the active node. The credentials must be valid for all nodes in the cluster.

To validate group credentials

  1. Select the instance group.
  2. Choose Actions > Properties.
  3. Click Validate.

    NetBackup requests detailed information about the instances or replicas from the NetBackup client and displays it in Applications node.
