Updated over 11 months ago

Problem description


This error may occur in the following cases:

  • When an activation token is entered for a backup proxy.

  • While configuring a standalone backup proxy.

Cause

The following are the possible causes of this error:

  • The activation token is expired.

  • An incorrect type of the Phoenix Cloud is selected while configuring the standalone proxy. Check if the following line is seen while activating the backup proxy:
    ServerURL is now set. backup-govphoenix.druva.com:443

  • You have selected option 2 while configuring the Phoenix Cloud.

Traceback

The main_service.log on the VMware backup proxy located at /var/log/Phoenix/ shows:

Please enter the authentication token generated from Phoenix to enable communication to Phoenix cloud.

Activation token : 27696-3219-4307-702ab3f7ca26ac3ecfbc85262a611126678b98ff522e56c8a58aac7e3a1334a5

Registration failed with error:

ServerURL is now set. backup-govphoenix.druva.com:443

Activating backup proxy, this may take some time....

ServerURL is now set. backup-phoenix.druva.com:443

The activation token is invalid because, either it has expired or reached limit for number of allowed activations. (#1000000e8) (Error Code : PHOENIX232)

Resolution

  • Create a new activation token on the Phoenix Management Console.

  • Run through the configuration once on the VMware backup proxy.

    • For standalone backup proxy, use the ProxyConf command.

    • For vCenter backup proxy, turn off the backup proxy and clear the Govcloud option if you are using a public cloud.
