i am getting "Failed to get host security certificate" at the startup screen when host PXE boots.
Here is what i did:
Added new host name ,IP in hosts file of server.
Added hsot to NBU database using nbhostmgmt command.

"Certificate request for host "newhq" was rejected as hostname is not known to the master server"
here is the output of nbhostmgmt -li command:
Host ID : 545bd1ca-24a4-46a9-ba74-2c47e8a0609b Host : newhq Master Server : OS Type : Operating System : NetBackup EEBs : Hardware Description : CPU Architecture : Version : Secure : No Comment : Allow Auto Reissue Certificate : Yes Allow Auto Reissue Certificate Validity : Jan 11, 2019 05:33:17 PM Mapped Host Name Approved Conflict Auto-discovered Shared Created On Last Updated On 10.190.11.215 Yes No No No Ja n 09, 2019 05:22:58 PM Jan 09, 2019 05:22:58 PM newhq Yes No No No Ja

hostname is not known to the master server
from Article: A host is considered to be known to the master server if the host can be found in the following entities:
1. If the host is listed against any of the following options in the NetBackup configuration file (Windows registry or the bp.conf file on UNIX):
2. If the host is listed as a client name in the altnames file (ALTNAMESDB_PATH).
3. If the host appears in the EMM database of the master server.
4. If at least one catalog image of the client exists that is less than 6 months old.
5. If the client is listed in at least one backup policy.
6. If the client is a legacy client. That is, a client is listed in Host Properties --> Master server --> Client Attributes.

Thankx for the reply,
i forgot to mention in my post that i am getting this error while "preparing to discover" operation.
According to NBU guide, for Dissimilar restore host doen't need to be a client of NBU server, it just needs an entry in EMM database which i did using nbhostmgmt command.
I dont know if i did the entry wrong !! i just followd the guide. NBU 8.1.2 Admin guide..
You can discover the configuration of a new system; the system does not have to be a NetBackup client. A discovered configuration contains the hardware and the software information of a host.
To restore BMR configurations of NetBackup 8.1.1 and later, a valid host ID to host name mapping for the selected host name must be present. Use the nbhostmgmt command for adding a host entry in the host database or for host ID to host name mappings.

If you need assistance urgently, best to log a Support call with Veritas Support.
Experience with BMR on NBU 8.1.x is not very common in this forum.
