Linux encrypted repository server shared tape addition failed


[Problem]: Recently, a new Linux encrypted repository server has been added, which comes with two 50T partitions. Tape is directly connected to the Linux encrypted repository server; Afterwards, I added encrypted repository resources on the VBR host; Then I tried to add the tape again, but it showed an error message. Specifically。Linux encrypted repository with two IP addresses。

as follows:

   1、2024/7/12 9:35:59 Error    Discovering installed packages Error: Package oVeeamTapeProxy] is not allowed in 'restricted mode'  Failed to invoke rpc command 。

  2、2024/7/12 9:35:59 Error    Failed to save tape server: Package aVeeamTapeProxy] is not allowed in 'restricted mode'Failed to invoke rpc command。

  3、2024/7/12 9:35:59 Error    Infrastructure item save failed Error: Package sVeeamTapeProxy] is not allowed in 'restricted mode' Failed to invoke rpc command。

You can't use the Hardened Repository for Tape Server because it's require root access rights to work.

It's specified here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/system_requirements.html?ver=120#tape-server

Is there no way to solve it?

In addition to the repository role, a Veeam Hardened Repository can only act as an NBD proxy. 
This means that you cannot also use it as a tape server.

You can read more about this here in the note.

You then need a separate server for the tape
