<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSo you go ahead an make the number in the \u201cReplica Volume\u201d field a little bigger, hit ok and go on about your business. Unless..<\/p>\n
Sometimes you may need to go and use DISKPART to manually add space to the volume. If you try the above method, and you get a failed message instead of success, you are either out of disk space, or it could be that you have more than one disk on your DPM server and one of the disks becomes full. In order to extend the volume onto another disk, you have to use DISKPART. DPM (at this version) won\u2019t do it for you.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open a command prompt (run as administrator if you are using a 2008 Server for your DPM server) and type \u201cdiskpart\u201d. <\/li>\n
- Type \u201cList Volume\u201d at the prompt. <\/li>\n
- Right click and \u201cselect all\u201d then enter to copy the output to the clipboard <\/li>\n
- Paste it in notepad so you can do a search and search for the Data Source\n
- \n
- You should see a line similar to this:\n
- \n
- The volume number comes before what it is describing and there are 2 for each protected object. A Replica volume and a DiffArea. The replica volume is a copy of the data as it is on the protected member. The DiffArea is where the recovery points are stored. The \u201cNon VSS Datasource Writer\u201d is system state in the example. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- At the DISKPART> prompt type \u201cselect volume\u201d and the volume number i.e. : select volume 534<\/em> <\/li>\n
- If you want to see the details about the disk, you can type detail volume<\/em> and it gives an output similar to:
\n\n

- Now you have to go back in and tell DPM that you extended the volume. (I believe it may figure it out on its own eventually, but I prefer to get the warning cleared up sooner rather than later, so I go update DPM. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/p>\n
Note: Each time you use DISKPART, you are likely to see different numbers for the volumes. I haven\u2019t looked into what that is, but I do know that the system volume is always one of the last in the list. For that reason I recommend that you always view detail volume <\/em>after you select it, to make sure you are seeing the volume you intend to work with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Great! :( Now what? Well, if you have a new DPM server and not a lot of protection groups created, and you haven\u2019t been protecting anything much, you can just click on the link in the warning message that says \u201cAllocate more disk space for replica\u2026\u201d That pulls up a pretty window that looks like… Continue reading Replica disk threshold exceeded, or Recovery Point Volume threshold exceeded<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,17,27,33],"tags":[76,80,120,187],"class_list":["post-145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-data-protection-manager","category-microsoft","category-server-2008","category-system-center","tag-diskpart","tag-dpm","tag-microsoft","tag-vds","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pcW544-2l","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.nukeitmike.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
