NetBackup™ Flex Scale Release Notes

The EEB install subtask of the add node operation fails when the setup is upgraded, all mandatory EEBs are installed, and a new node with an earlier version of NetBackup Flex Scale is added

If an upgrade is performed and then all EEBs are installed post-upgrade, and if an add node operation is performed where the newly added node is on an earlier version of NetBackup Flex Scale, the add node operation upgrades the node and attempts to install the EEBs. However, the EEB installation subtask fails because they are already installed, and an error message appears. Despite this, the add node operation still completes successfully.

(IA-58039)

Workaround:

The error message can be ignored. This message has no impact on the add node operation.
