Protection Manager reliability/label match error

smurphy — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:57:09 GMT

IHAC who is trying to migrate a SV secondary volume from one controller to a second using the features in Protection Manager. The correct licenses are in place. The drive types match. The systems are both 6030's. Both are running 7.3.3P3. No resource labels are in use. None of the aggregates are over-committed. Can someone explain what this error means?

"There are no aggregates with enough space and reliability/label match for all the volumes in the vFiler unit."

Here it is in context:

============================================================

ERROR:

=== SEVERITY ===

Error: Attention: Failed to select a resource.

=== ACTION ===

Select a destination resource for migrating

=== REASON ===

Storage system : 'UNPIOX80PN.uhc.com'(1698):

- There are no aggregates with enough space and reliability/label match for all the volumes in the vFiler unit.

Storage capacity configurations and reliability requirements of volumes in the vFiler unit:

Volume 'unpiox32pn:/jb_test_vol_v8'(6600): Used space: 4.39 MB Current size: 20.0 GB (file guarantee)

Block type: 32-bit

Disk type: ATA

Volume 'unpiox32pn:/unpiox32pn_root_1'(5125): Used space: 1.27 MB Current size: 50.0 MB (volume guarantee)

Block type: 32-bit

Disk type: ATA

Aggregates, their capacities and configurations:

Storage system 'UNPIOX80PN.uhc.com'(1698):

Aggregate 'UNPIOX80PN:aggr019'(3423): Used space: 5.82 TB Total capacity: 12.2 TB Committed size: 12.0 TB

Block type: 32-bit

Disk type: ATA

Configuration: Double disk failure protection

=== SUGGESTION ===

Suggestions related to storage system 'UNPIOX80PN.uhc.com'(1698):

- Add more resources to the resource pool or select a different storage system.

Are you trying to migrate the vFiler using DataMotion ? or Migrate volumes using the secondary space management feature of dfm 4.0

From the error it looks like DataMotion of vfilers.Can you get the version of dfm you are running and the OS on which its running.

Also the output of dfm options list ?

Also vFiler DataMotion of secondary or DR vFiler unit is not supported.

Can you get the output of the following.

dfm aggr get 3243.

(keep in mind this aggr wasn’t over-committed when I tried the migration and the DFM server also acknowledged the aggr wasn’t over-committed)

Are you trying to migrate the vFiler using DataMotion ? Yes

Migrate volumes using the secondary space management feature of dfm 4.0? No issues with this process.

From the error it looks like DataMotion of vfilers.

Can you get the version of dfm you are running and the OS on which its running?

About DataFabric® Manager server Version 4.0.1.7536 (4.0.1)

Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack 2.

Also the output of dfm options list ?

As I suspected its due to the over commitment,

The error.

Aggregate 'UNPIOX80PN:aggr019'(3423): Used space: 5.82 TB Total capacity: 12.2 TB Committed size: 12.0 TB

The committed size on the aggr is beyond Aggregate Nearly Overcommitted Threshold (%): 95

Either increase the over commitment or add disk to the aggr.
