Description

Error Message

V-47-1-16 At least one disk does not have 16MB unpartitioned space at the end of the disk, which is needed for the upgrade.

V-76-58645-234 No space for private region on disk

Cause

InfoScale requires at least 16MB of free disk space for creating DG private region. This issue occurs on disks that are smaller than 16 GB in size, and disks that are converted from MBR to GPT.

Resolution

Perform one of the following courses of actions to work around this error:

Option 1) Take the MBR disk offline, convert it to GPT, and bring the disk online again.
Option 2) Add the MBR disk to the dynamic disk group, then convert it to a GPT disk.
Option 3) If the converted disk contains a volume, then it cannot be added to a DG. Present a new disk to the server, write a GPT signature to the disk, and create the DG. Now copy data from the existing volume to the new disk which is a part of the DG.
