Data Store Name is Already in Use

Symptom:

When I create a data store, sometimes the following message appears even though I specify a new data store name:

This name is already being used by another data store on the server. Please specify a different data store name.

Solution:

This happens when you have an existing data store but for some reason, the data store UUID at the registry is corrupt. You can delete the data store from GUI, but the name remains in the recovery point server registry.

To resolve, specify a new name.
