the vnetd proxy encountered an error !

I installed Oracle Linux 7.9 on my Linux server. I was able to take a backup from this server before. Netbackup Agent was installed. 

 I also installed Netbackup agent. The server name is the same as before, the IP is the same, but when I say connect to the client name in netbackup,

I get the following error the vnetd proxy encountered an error

    netbackup communication relies on certificates. Now the master server does not recognize the client as the client does not have the correct certificate.

    You have to 
    revoke the client certificate
    create a reissue token
    install a new certificate to the client

    To create a reissue a token using the NetBackup Administration Console

    1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Security Management > Certificate Management.
    2. In the right pane, select the host that requires a reissue token.
    3. From the Actions menu, select Generate Reissue Token.
    4. In the Create Reissue Token dialog, enter a name for the token.
    5. Select a date for token validity from the Valid until option.

    Deploying when a token is needed

    Use the following procedure when the security level is such that a host requires an authorization token before it can deploy a host ID-based certificate from the CA.

    To generate and deploy a host ID-based certificate when a token is required

    1. The host administrator must have obtained the authorization token value from the CA before proceeding. The token may be conveyed to the administrator by email, by file, or verbally, depending on the various security guidelines of the environment.
    2. Run the following command on the client to establish that the master server can be trusted:nbcertcmd -getCACertificate
    3. Run the following command on the client host and enter the token when prompted:nbcertcmd -getCertificate -token
