Storage server already exists - illegal duplication

[TA0]

Hello,

NBU 7.6.0.1

Windows 2012 Master and Media Server

I started the 'Configure Disk Storage System' just to familiarise myself with creating an Advanced Disk disk storage

1. I chose my existing physical media server
2. After choosing 'Next' on the summary page the wizard start to create the storage server on the 'Storage Server Creation Status' page
3. I ended the wizard thinking that the process would not complete

I'm going through the wizard for real this time and choosing the same media server as I did the first time. When I get to the 'Storage Server Creation Status' page I get the following error:

Operation would cause an illegal duplication. Storage server (media server name) already exists in NetBackup

Can someone help please?

Thanks

You only create the storage server once.

Create the advanced disk separately.

follow this - it;s for 6.5 should work for 7.x

Hi,

If you check with nbdevquery -liststs you'll probably see its already there. You can use nbdevconfig to delete it and then try again.

Or the credentials might still be around from a previous configuration attempt. Clean them up with tpconfig.
