Cause
- sourcesecret.tar file is corrupted
- sourcesecret.tar has expired.
Solution
- Add the default port 9990/9991/9992/9993/9994/9995/9996/9997/9998/9999 into the firewall exception list.
- Check if the sourcesecret.tar file is present at the source primary server.
a) If not, then copy it from the target primary server.
b) if yes, then:
1) delete the following from nbsm directory:
Source primary server:
I) sourcessl
ii) sourcesecret.tar
Target primary server:
I) targetssl
ii) sourcesecret.tar
2) Generate the sourcesecret.tar on target primary server using the following command:
"nbsm_target -generate_sourcesecret <number_of_days>".
Example: nbsm_target -generate_sourcesecret 2
3) Copy the newly generated sourcesecret.tar from target primary server to source primary server in nbsm folder.
4) Proceed with the report/overwrite operation.
