MSDP storage server configuration fails

If storage server configuration fails, first resolve the issue that the Storage Server Configuration Wizard reports. Then, delete the deduplication host configuration file before you try to configure the storage server again.

NetBackup cannot configure a storage server on a host on which a storage server already exists. One indicator of a configured storage server is the deduplication host configuration file. Therefore, it must be deleted before you try to configure a storage server after a failed attempt.
