QuestionQ40

Unknown / not found in official Broadcom sources

An administrator has changed the SFTP server used for scheduled NSX Manager backups. Backup jobs now fail with the error Host KEY Verification Failed. Connectivity and credentials are correct.

How can an administrator resolve the error?

  • A Update the SSH fingerprint.
  • B Use the NSX cluster VIP as the SFTP endpoint.
  • C Turn off Backup encryption.
  • D Trust the certificate on the SFTP server.
Explanation

SFTP authenticates the remote server through its SSH host key. When the backup target is replaced, NSX Manager must trust the new server’s SSH host-key fingerprint; updating that fingerprint resolves the verification mismatch.
