Hi,

We have multiple Windows Server 2019 Standard installations. We have a Storage Replica working between two of the servers ("1st" & "2nd" servers for the basis of this text) and wish to create a new Storage Replica between two entirely different servers. I've been up & down the documentation available on creating Storage Replicas and while the limitation indicates only one storage replica per server, I cannot create a storage replica on the 3rd & 4th servers due to there already being a Partnership between the 1st & 2nd servers. Is this a hidden licensing restriction?

    Hi,

    I have figured this one out. The data volumes intended for use with Storage Replica had been created at just over the Standard server's 2TB and was triggering the license indication (but the message was that they were already in an SR Partnership!).

    All working, thanks. :)

    Hi,
    Please tell me if the four servers are in a cluster or they are standalone servers or something else?
    Best regards,

    The four servers are member servers of the same domain but not a part of any cluster.
