NetBackup status code: 5966

Message: The host has an active certificate. You need to revoke the certificate before you can disassociate the host from its host ID.

Explanation: The user is trying to decouple an existing host and it has active certificates. In this case, the server will reject the decouple request as only the hosts that have revoked certificates can be decoupled from their existing host IDs.

Recommended Action: The user must revoke the certificate for this host and only then mark it as decoupled from the associated host ID.
