Cannot create Scale-out repository because of cache

Post by Guido »

Hi,
I want to create a Scale-out repository but I do get a error.
"Unable to add extent repositoryname because it is used as a cache repository"
In de details pane there is a \\servername\sharename listed that was indeed part of a files to tape job. I deleted this specific tape job and tried again with same result. Also did a rescan on the repository.
How can I get this cache reference pointing to the repository removed?

Kind regards

Hi Guido

Do you still have \\servername\sharename added as a File Shares to Veeam?
Added File Shares have always an assigned Cache repository.

Thanks

Yes Fabian,
It was indeed listed there and was able to change the cache location to a another repository.
The error is gone.Thank you!
