NetBackup status code: 8418

Message: Service <service-name> already available in the namespace <namespace> for the MediaServer <MediaServer-name> with unexpected selectors.

Explanation: The selector for the service does not match. A clean-up from a previous uninstallation of NetBackup deployment was not done properly.

Recommended Action: Perform the following as appropriate:

  • Check the NetBackup operator logs for details using the following command:

    kubectl logs <netbackup-operator-pod-name> netbackup-operator -n <netbackup-operator-namespace>

  • Delete the service using the following command:

    kubectl delete service <service-name> -n <namespace>

    The operator recreates the service.

  • Verify that RBAC permissions are correct. Refer to the NetBackup Deployment on Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS) Administrator's Guide.

  • Check the Kubernetes documentation for service details: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/
