Veritas NetBackup™ Cloud Administrator's Guide

Unable to configure additional media servers

If you attempt to run the Cloud Storage Server Configuration Wizard on a second media server that uses the same master server as the first media server, the operation fails. An illegal duplication error similar to the following appears:

Operation would cause an illegal duplication. DSM has found that vendor_name.com already exists in the database.

Your only options in the wizard are to click Cancel or Back. If you click Back, there are no configuration changes that allow the wizard to continue.

You must use the correct procedure if you want multiple media servers in your cloud environment. More information is available in a different topic.
