Title
Get "The specified node already configured for another host" error adding a new catalog entry -
Description
When adding a new catalog entry, after entering the Node and Instance name, when the Next button is clicked a red exclamation point appears next to the Node Name field and says "The specified node already configured for another host" if hovered over.
-
Cause
The node name being entered is already being used for another host cataloged for that DB2 client. This a DB2 restriction. Duplicate node names cannot be used for multiple hosts.
-
Resolution
A possible workaround is to edit the catalog entry that is already entered with the same node name. The catalog entry can be edited to contain the correct information for the server that needs to be connected to that has the duplicate node name.
