Master server security certificate is revoked
A revoked security certificate on a NetBackup master server is the worst case scenario for NetBackup security. The following symptoms may indicate that the master server certificate is revoked:
Jobs fail with network errors.
Media servers deactivate spontaneously.
The vnetd proxy process log files on hosts show that the master server's certificate is revoked.
The bptestbpcd - host master_server command output may show that the master server's certificate is revoked.
If the master server is compromised and remains compromised, do the following:
Disconnect it from your network.
Do not trust the certificate revocation list on any host.
Resolve the issue, reissue the master server's security certificate, and then return the master server to service.
If you cannot resolve the issue and return the master server to service, replace it. You must then reissue all host certificates.
