Troubleshooting security certificate revocation

For jobs, NetBackup writes the cause of failures to the Job Details. Jobs are backups, restores, duplications, and replications. To troubleshoot errors related to host certificates, examine the job details for the messages and the status codes. Look for the messages that relate to certificates, revocation, and CRL. The status codes that accompany the messages are closely adjacent. Look up the descriptions of the status codes for explanations and recommended actions to resolve the issues.

You also may need to examine the vnetd proxy process log files. As with the job details, examine the logs for the messages and the status codes that relate to certificates, revocation, and CRL. Status codes that accompany a message are closely adjacent.

See Viewing the vnetd proxy log files.

A host's CRL may affect troubleshooting.

See How a host's CRL affects certificate revocation troubleshooting.

The following topics describe how to troubleshoot several security certificate revocation scenarios:

See NetBackup job fails because of revoked certificate or unavailability of CRLs.

See NetBackup job fails because of apparent network error.

See NetBackup job fails because of unavailable resource.

See Primary server security certificate is revoked.
