Unable to create Recovery storage Group in passive mailbox server

Hi,

Can anyone please assist me, I cannot create Recovery Storage Group in my passive node Exchange Mailbox server (CCR cluster) ?

here's what I've done so far:

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>New-StorageGroup -Server ExcCCRGrp01 -Name RSG1 -LogFolderPath Z:\RSG1\Logs -SystemFolderPath Z:\RSG1\DB -Recovery

New-StorageGroup : This server already contains one recovery storage group, which is the maximum allowable number of recovery storage groups.
At line:1 char:17
+ New-StorageGroup <<<<  -Server ExcCCRGrp01 -Name RSG1 -LogFolderPath Z:\RSG1\Logs -SystemFolderPath Z:\RSG1\DB -Recovery
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [New-StorageGroup], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 77A6CFA3,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.NewStorageGroup

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailboxDatabase -Server ExcCCRGrp01 | where {$_.Recovery -like '*true*'}

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailboxDatabase -Server RecoveryMbxSrv01 | where {$_.Recovery -like '*true*'}
Get-MailboxDatabase : Exchange server "RecoveryMbxSrv01" was not found. Please make sure you have typed it correctly.
At line:1 char:20
+ Get-MailboxDatabase <<<<  -Server RecoveryMbxSrv01 | where {$_.Recovery -like '*true*'}
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Get-MailboxDatabase], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 2CE848AD,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.GetMailboxDatabase

I confirmed that I have deleted the previous RSGthat I created successfully in the Production Node, but somehow I cannot replicate the same working powershell command to create the RSG in the passive node ?

Thanks for the reply people, so I this case does it means that the RSG can only be mounted on the Active CCR node only not on the passive ?
