Question

This procedure is useful for those scenarios when for some reason after granting the cert request on OBM, the cert never arrives on the node.

Answer

  1. Execute the command <OV Install Dir>\bin\ovcoreid.(bat|sh) on the node and get the value
  2. On the DPS management server (check if ovcs is running with ovc -status) execute:

<OV Install Dir>\bin\ovcm.(bat|sh) -issue -file C:\nodeCert.cer -name <nodeFQDN > -pass 1234 -coreid <nodeOVCOREID>

  1. Copy over the just created cert from the DPS to the node, for example to C:\nodeCERT.cer
  2. Execute on the node

<OV Install Dir>\bin\ovcert.(bat|sh) -importcert -file c:\nodeCERT.cert

  1. If needed update the trusted certs with ovcert -updatetrusted
