Failed to provision partition ed0dc93f-107c-4ab4-a785-afd687d3e734 on Azure storage

Question

Trying to create a new replication partnership, got the following error:

New-SRPartnership : Unable to create replication group test01, detailed reason: Failed to provision partition ed0dc93f-107c-4ab4-a785-afd687d3e734.
At line: 1 char: 1
+ New-SRPartnership -SourceComputerName srv1 -SourceRGName test01
+ Categorylnfo : ObjectNotFound: (MSFT_WvrAdminTasks : root/ Microsoft/. . s) CNew-SRPartnership], CimException
+ FullyQua1ifiedErrorId : Windows System Error 1168 ,New-SRPartnership

How do I resolve this?

Answer 1

This usually happens when you select a data volume that is on the same partition as the System Drive (i.e. the C: drive with its Windows folder). 

For instance, on a drive that contains both the C: and D: volumes created from the same partition. 

This is not supported in Storage Replica; you must pick a different volume to replicate.

Hope this helps!
