Updating the certificate in NetBackup

After you verify that the Iris service certificate is valid on the cluster, update the certificate configuration in NetBackup.

To update the certificate using the web UI

  1. In the NetBackup web UI, navigate toStorage > Disk storage, and select the Storage servers tab.
  2. From the list of configured storage servers, select the SpanFS storage server for which you want to update the certificate.
  3. Click the action menu (three dots) for the selected storage server, and then select Edit credentials.
  4. When the Validate Certificate Authority dialog box appears, review the certificate details.
  5. Click Yes to trust the certificate and continue.
  6. In the Edit credentials dialog box, enter the required credentials (username and password) for the storage server.

    Click Update.

To update the certificate using the command-line

  • Run the following command on the NetBackup primary or media server:

    tpconfig -update -storage_server <server_name> -stype <server_type> \ -ca_file_path <SpanFS_CA_certificate_path> \ -sts_user_id <user_ID> -password <password>

    Where:

    • <server_name> is the SpanFS storage server configured in NetBackup.

    • <server_type> is the storage server type (SpanFS).

    • <SpanFS_CA_certificate_path> is the path to the retrieved certificate file (for example, /tmp/ca.pem).

    • <user_ID> and <password> are the credentials used for the storage server
