Unable to create a shadow copy |
|
|
I have a windows server 2003 system that is unable to create a shadow copy of
one of the volumes of the server. The volume in question is a SAN attached
volume, when I try and create a snapshot it says that there is not enough
storage space to complete this operation. So I disabled shadow copies on
that volume, then when I tried to re-enable shadow copies it gave me the same
error message. the snapshots work fine on the other volumes of the server
that are local drives, the only diference is that the one in question is a
SAN Attached drive with 1TB of free space. |

hi edward,

usually SAN's supporting shadow copies directly on the SAN which is
different to microsoft VSS.
but imho it basicly should be possible to do so.

ok, so there is no failure on the OS site.

probably the os has no possibility to store the VSS information on the
SAN-disk. teh VSS from microsoft prepares special part of the disk to keep
the Shadow copy information safed from the rest of the data-disk.
I think you should try to configure the vss storing this information on one
of the local drives. that should probably works.
also make shure that the SAN-Drive is provided to the systems as
"basic-drive" not as "dynamic-drive".
hope this may help, grretings from munich, steve ;-) |

Search the KB using the exact term in quotes. If you look for "not enough
storage to complete this operation" (no "space") it's typically associated
with COM, registry, virtual memory; it's usually nothing to do with disk
space.
