Install RBS for second content database

Question

I am using sharepoint 2016 onpremises. One Sql Server and one Web Front End(WFE) server, one Application server is there. I am using Sql server 2014 version. I installed RBS for First content Database Successfully using GUI. While installing RBS for second content Database in Sql server it is showing it is configured successfully.And i checked the rbs tables were exist or not using the following command.

USE[contentDataBasename]
selectfrom dbo.sysobjects
where name like 'rbs%'.
It was showing the table .While installing RBS for WFE server in log file it is showing MS SQL Server 2014 Remote Blob Storage configuration failed. Reconfiguration success or error status:1603 .
Below command only i ran.
msiexec /qn /lvx rbs_install_log.txt /i rbs.msi REMOTEBLOBENABLE=1 FILESTREAMPROVIDERENABLE=1 DBNAME=[your next content database name] FILESTREAMSTORENAME=FilestreamProvider_1 ADDLOCAL=EnableRBS,FilestreamRunScript DBINSTANCE=[your DB server].
I changed HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Remote Blob Storage >
value for key 'database' = [probably the name of the content database i initially enabled RBS on];
after that i restarted the server also it is not installing.
Finally i used the following command.
msiexec /qn /lvx* rbs_install_log.txt /i RBS.msi TRUSTSERVERCERTIFICATE=true FILEGROUP=PRIMARY DBNAME="WSS_Content" DBINSTANCE="DBInstanceName" FILESTREAMFILEGROUP=RBSFilestreamProvider FILESTREAMSTORENAME=FilestreamProvider_1

In log file MS SQL Server 2014 Remote Blob Storage configuration successful.
Reconfiguration success or error status:0
But while running $rbss.Installed() command it is showing SQL Remote Blob Storage must be installed on each web front end server and on the content database before it may be used.
How to solve this problem?

Hi @Bharathi Paulraj
Per my research, there was a problem with the client one or more WFES, or the server(s) needs to be rebooted if this error occurs. Please check the RBS client install log on all WFEs. If they look good, reboot them and try the enable again. If you see errors in the install log, the client may need to be uninstalled and reinstalled (not updated).

Please refer to the following article about the similar issue with yours
