NetBackup™ Flex Scale Release Notes

Cluster configuration fails during NetBackup configuration stage

When the data network IP and management network IP belong to different networks and the NetBackup primary IP is already being used, the precheck gets passed even though it should fail. As a result, the cluster configuration fails during NetBackup configuration stage (after 6 hours) since the primary server IP is already being used.

(IA-56242)

Workaround:

There is no workaround for this issue. Make sure all the IPs are not in use before cluster configuration. If any IP is in use, the cluster configuration may fail.
