Veritas NetBackup™ Add-in for Microsoft SCVMM Console Guide

Reconfiguring the add-in for a NetBackup CA-signed certificate

If the master server is reconfigured to use a NetBackup CA-signed certificate, use the following procedure to configure the add-in for that certificate.

Reconfigure the add-in to use a NetBackup CA-signed certificate

  1. Enter the following command on the master server:

    Windows

    install_path\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\configureCertsForPlugins.bat -registerNBCAcert

    UNIX/Linux:

    /usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/configureCertsForPlugins -registerNBCAcert

    This command reconfigures the add-in to use the NetBackup CA-signed certificate.

  2. Restart the NetBackup Web Management Console service on the master server.

    In the Activity Monitor of the NetBackup Administration Console: Click the Daemons tab, right-click the service, and click Stop Daemon. When the service has stopped, click Start Daemon.

  3. Renew the authentication token on the master server:

    See Renewing an authorization token.

    Note:

    Perform this step for each add-in that needs to communicate with the master server.

  4. On the add-in, remove the existing master server and then add the master server that now has the renewed token:

    See Authorizing the NetBackup add-in to restore virtual machines.
