Next button in the NetBackup Add-in Recovery Wizard is enabled even though required input has not been entered

This topic pertains to the NetBackup Add-in for System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).

In the Recovery Wizard of the NetBackup Add-in for SCVMM, the Next button is enabled even if some required input has not been entered. In the following case, the Recovery Wizard of the NetBackup Add-in for SCVMM enables the Next button prematurely:

  • On the Add-in's Manage Master Servers screen, an authentication token was added for an invalid master server. For example: The token was generated for an existing master server, but the server name was entered incorrectly on the Manage Master Servers screen.

  • A second master server and its authentication token are added, and the master server's name is entered correctly.

When you select the second master server in the wizard's Virtual Machine Selection screen, you can click Next without selecting a VM identifier. The wizard lets you progress from screen to screen without completing the input for each screen. If you continue without making the required input, the Recovery button on the wizard's last screen is grayed out.

Note:

The wizard's Next button should remain grayed out until the input for each screen is completed. To run the restore, go back through the wizard and make the required entries. You should also delete the invalid master server.
