SQL command ALTER DATABASE update manager__Clone SET AUTO_SHRINK OFF failed

HendersonD — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:03:22 GMT

I am getting this error messge in my SQL Server event viewer:

SQL command ALTER DATABASE update manager__Clone SET AUTO_SHRINK OFF failed with error code 0x8004009c.

I am running Snapmanager for SQL 5.1, Snapdrive 6.3P1, and VSC 2.0.1. My SQL databases and logs are stored in VMDKs under NFS

Any idea what causes this and how to fix it?

To workaround this issue, add a registry REG_DWORD value named "NotOffAutoshrink" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Appliance\SnapManager for SQL Server\Server

Set the value to 1.

Thanks,
