Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Setting up a trust between the PureDisk SPA host and the OpsCenter OpsCenter host

You need to set up trust between the PureDisk SPA host the and OpsCenter host. Establishing trust is a pre-requisite for PureDisk data collection from OpsCenter.

Note:

OpsCenter host is the host where the OpsCenter server is installed. However, if OpsCenter is installed in a clustered mode, then the OpsCenter host is the host name that was provided as the remote authentication broker host during the OpsCenter installation.

The OpsCenter host name is stored in the vxss.hostname parameter in the following file:

On Windows: INSTALL_PATH\server\config\security.conf

On UNIX: INSTALL_PATH/SYMCOpsCenterServer/config/security.conf

This section provides the manual steps that you need to carry out on the PureDisk SPA host, to setup trust between the PureDisk SPA host and the OpsCenter authentication broker host.

To set up a trust between PureDisk SPA host and OpsCenter host

  1. On the PureDisk SPA host, logon as root and run the following command:

    su www-data

  2. As a "www-data" user, run the following command:

    INSTALL_PATH/VRTSat/bin/vssat setuptrust --broker OpsCenterhost:1556:OPSCENTER_PBXSSLServiceID --securitylevel low

    After successfully setting up a trust between the PureDisk SPA host and the OpsCenter host, the following message is displayed:

    setuptrust
    ----------------------
    ----------------------
    Setup Trust With Broker: OpsCenterhost

After setting up the trust between OpsCenter Server host and PureDisk SPA host, logon to the OpsCenter GUI and configure PureDisk data collector to start collecting PureDisk data.
