I had to set it up on both of my backends.  Indeed, if you look at the
database schema, you'll see that things are qualified by hostname:

mysql> show fields from storagegroup;
+-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field     | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id        | int(11)      | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| groupname | varchar(32)  | NO   | MUL |         |                |
| hostname  | varchar(64)  | NO   | MUL |         |                |
| dirname   | varchar(255) | NO   |     |         |                |
