Issue/Introduction

We are setting up a new IM, US, PS and CS in a separate Vapp cluster but our deployment failed as the IDM environment did not come up post deployment and we are receiving the following error while access IDM management console:

Cause

Identity Manager is not able to connect to the Provisioning Server because it is unable to bind as the etaadmin user:

The issue occurred because this vAPP instance was pointing to the (external) object store of another vAPP environment. This is not a supported configuration.

Each vAPP installation must have only one Identity Manager object store of its own. The Object Store cannot be shared with other vAPP systems.

Resolution

Undeploy the services, or restore fresh OVAs, and install vAPP pointing to its own databases, not that of an existing vAPP system.
