There was insufficient free space on the disk to create the Storage Replica partition database

Question

I'm having problem with creating storage replica in stretched cluster. error is below:

Failed to create replication.
ERROR CODE : 0x80131500;
NATIVE ERROR CODE : 1.
Unable to create replication group Replication 1, detailed reason: Failed to provision partition 0b29a615-5ec7-4ef9-b06a-515fa0b622c3.
(There was insufficient free space on the disk to create the Storage Replica partition database.

source and destination disks are 1 TB, log disks - 40 GB

does anyone have any idea what kind of disk its referring to?

Answer 1

Hello,

One of the most common issues for this error are:

• A service called “Microsoft Storage Spaces SMP” or in the short form “smphost” that has been deactivated via GPO. Changing the Start Type to Automatic, or starting the service manually from services.msc usually fixes the issue.
• IP Filtering might be enabled and affecting WinRM service. You can test WinRM by running a cross test between replica partners through the command:

"Test-WsMan <Target IP>"

You will need to allow this IP communication in order for Replica to start correctly.
