NetBackup status code: 8432

Message: Failed to get the CA certificate fingerprint or token from the primary server.

Explanation: The primary server and media server are not able to connect. The media server cannot retrieve the CA certificate fingerprint of the token from the primary server.

Recommended Action: Perform the following as appropriate:

  • Check the NetBackup operator logs for details using the following command:

    kubectl logs <netbackup-operator-pod-name> netbackup-operator -n <netbackup-operator-namespace>

  • The PrimaryServer credentials may have expired. Wait for the next reconciler loop (wait time for 5 min added).

  • Look for the primary server pod and check the ready state (1/1) of the PrimaryServer pod using the following command:

    kubectl get pod -n <namespace>

    If primary pod is not in ready state, check the health probe events using the following command:

    kubectl describe <primary-pod-name> -n <netbackup-environment-namespace>

  • For more information that is related to health probes, refer to the NetBackup Deployment on Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS) Administrator's Guide.
