MSDP - Adding credentials failed

 I do have a case open with support. Anyhow when trying to create MSDP again (Original MSDP was blown away by our Unix Admins when resizing the disk, there were no images yet) I get the error: ...

    Look in:

     

    /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins

    Delete the .CFG for the server in which you want to create the MSDP. In my case there was a config file left behind for "prod-nbu-pdm01.uson.usoncology.int.cfg" and I believe I saw some notes somewhere to look for this file but it just slipped my mind.

     

    My issue has been resolved.

Have you seen this TN?

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH197511

Extract:

This error is caused by invalid characters used in the password for the MSDP username. While the password may work successfully with Windows media servers, it will fail when attempting to add credentials to Linux media servers (other platforms may be affected as well.)

The characters allowed in the MSDP user's password are documented in TECH178038.
