The Storage Partitioning Premium Feature is out of
compliance.
The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

If... |
Then... |
You want to resolve
this problem by enabling the Storage Partitioning
feature key |
Go to step 2. |
You want to resolve
this problem by removing partitions
until you are below the limit allowed by the storage
subsystem |
Reduce the number of
partitions to equal to or less than the number of
partitions allowed. The maximum number of
partitions is listed in the Recovery Guru Details area.
a |
Display the Mappings View by selecting the View >> Mappings option. |
b |
Highlight the storage subsystem (root) node on the left-side of the screen.
The right-side of the screen displays all the mappings for this storage subsystem and also provides a tally of the Storage Partitions allowed and currently used. There are three rules you should be aware of when considering what mappings need to change to reduce the number of partitions to the allowable limit.
Rule 1 |
Each host group or host that has a specific mapping represents
ONE partition. If there are two or more mappings on the same host group or host, those mappings still represent just
ONE partition.
|
Rule 2 |
If a host group has mappings and a host that is part of the host group also has mappings of its own, the host group and host (and their associated mappings) represent
TWO distinct partitions. |
Rule 3 |
The default host group does not constitute one of the partitions. |
Caution: Potential loss of data access. Removing or changing mappings may cause any host attached to the storage subsystem to lose visibility of a file system mounted on the storage subsystem. Stop I/Os on the affected logical drives before changing or removing them.
|
c |
Highlight a mapping and use either the Mappings >> Change >> Mapping or Mappings >> Remove option. If you change a mapping, either move the mapping to another host group or host that already has mappings, or move it to the default group.
After making the appropriate changes, go to step 3.

The Storage Partitioning
feature
appears in this dialog (regardless of status) |
A separate Feature Key
File is needed to enable the Storage Partitioning
feature. If the Storage Partitioning
feature has
already been enabled at any time for this storage subsystem, you
should already have a Feature Key File. Otherwise,
you will need to perform the following:
- Retrieve the Feature Enable Identifier from the
Premium Features dialog.
- Contact your technical support representative to
request a Feature Key File.
- Once you have located your existing Feature Key File
or obtained the appropriate Feature Key File from your
technical support representative, click the Enable
button to enable it.
- When you are finished enabling
the feature, go to step 3.
|
The Storage Partitioning
feature
does NOT appear in this dialog |
Your storage subsystem
cannot support the Storage Partitioning
feature. It is possible that you can upgrade to a
Feature Pack that will allow support for the
Storage Partitioning feature. You can
contact your technical support representative to see
if your storage subsystem can be upgraded to a different
Feature Pack, or you can repeat step 1 to remove the
extra partitions now. |

Click the Recheck button to rerun the Recovery Guru.
The failure should no longer appear in the Summary area. If
the failure appears again, contact your technical support
representative. |
