NetBackup status code: 5965

Message: The host ID associated with this reissue token is assigned to another host. Before you can reuse the host ID for this host, revoke the existing certificate associated with the host ID and map this host name to the host ID.

Explanation: The user specified the nbcertcmd -getCertificate command using a reissue token. The user is trying to reissue a host ID to a host with a host name that is different than the one registered with the server. When a host is going through a name change and wants to ensure that its identity is maintained in the NetBackup domain, the user should revoke the existing certificate with the existing host name.

Recommended Action: The user must revoke the current certificate with the existing host name and then use the reissue token to request a certificate using the new host name.
