primary host, perform the procedure described in 4.3.3 Generating an SSH Key Pair for the 
Backup Host on page 4.11 on the primary host.

Connections from the Backup Host to the NetBackup Master Server on page 4.13 and 4.3.9 
Setting Up Connections from the Backup Host to the InServ Storage Server on page 4.14). Then 
copy the SSH key pair from the backup host to the primary host as follows:

If the 
authorized_keys file already exist, add the public key to the end of the 
authorized_keys file.
4.3.6 Verifying Connections from the Backup Host to the Primary Host

NOTE: In an RAC environment, all the nodes in the cluster must have the same 
SSH key pair in order to run Recovery Manager utilities against any RAC instance 
on any node.
<primary_host> # scp <backup_host>:~/.ssh/* ~/.ssh
The authenticity of host 'pilot (192.168.3.130)' can't be established.
RSA key finger print is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
