Configuring the NetBackup master server details
You must configure the master server details on the NetBackup for OpenStack VM. This configuration on the NetBackup for OpenStack configurator UI is required for the communication for license checks, capacity reporting, and certificate deployment.
To configure the master server details
- Log on to the NetBackup for OpenStack configurator UI.
- Enter the Master server host name.
- Select one of the certificate types.
NBCA
Certificates that the NetBackup CA has issued are referred to as NetBackup CA-signed certificates or NetBackup certificates.
See About security management and certificates in NetBackup.
External CA
Certificates that are issued by a CA other than the NetBackup CA are referred to as external CA-signed certificates or external certificates.
See About security management and certificates in NetBackup.
- 4. If you select the certificate type NBCA and if the security settings on the master server are configured as Very High, you must provide the token.
If the security settings on the master server are the default settings, it works as Known Hosts and the token is not required.
- If you select the certificate type External CA, you must provide the following information:
Certificate file
Provide the path of the certificate file.
Trust store location
Provide the trust store location.
Private key
Provide the private key.
Passphrase file (optional)
Provide the passphrase file if the private key is encrypted.
Use CRL
Select From certificate if you want to use Certificate Revocation List (CRL) defined in the certificate.
Select From the following path: if you want to use CRL defined in another file and provide the location of the file.
Select Do not use CRL if you do not want to use CRL.
- Click Submit.
- In the Ansible Output tab, you can verify the details such as new certificate on NetBackup OpenStack VM that registers itself as a valid host on the NetBackup Master server.
