Identifying a remote system
Remote systems added to PowerProtect Data Manager for quick recovery can be identified using either a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or an Internet protocol (IP) address. If the incorrect identification is used, quick recovery fails with a certificate error.
If a remote system is already identified in the PowerProtect Data Manager certificate list, it must be added to PowerProtect Data Manager for quick recovery with the same identification.
If you always use either FQDNs or IP addresses for all remote systems, do the same for quick recovery.
If a certificate entry for the remote system exists, you must use the same identification when adding it for quick recovery. If you are unsure if a remote system you want to add for quick recovery is already in the PowerProtect Data Manager certificate list, perform the following steps:
- Log in to the console as the root user.
- Type keytool -list -keystore.
- Review the output and look for a certificate entry that corresponds to either the FQDN or IP address of the remote system.
