A long-running process is in progress, which caused free capacity to become unavailable.
The maximum number of have been defined for the array.
Recovering from the No Capacity Available on the Arrayp Error Message
After clicking Cancel on the error dialog, perform one of these actions:

logical drives associated with the flashcopy logical drive reside on that array. No other disk drives would be required to
be moved.

that are grayed out are unavailable for the creation of flashcopy repository logical drives. A Free Capacity node might be
grayed out due to these errors: array degradation, a long-running process is in progress, or the maximum number of logical
