When trying to add a Data Aggregator Data Source to Performance Management getting an error:
"Adding Data Source failed. Data source is already registered to another Performance Center"
Or
"Adding data source failed
Data source is already registered to another DX Netops instance"
All supported DX NetOps Performance Management releases

Note that if the NetOps Portal was reinstalled without any backup loaded from the old system, many things will be missing and require recreation. The most often used examples of things needing rebuild will be Users/Roles, Groups, custom Reports (Dashboards, Context Pages, On-Demand Reports), Scheduled Reports, etc.
