Why Did I Get This Error Message?

You have attempted to create or change a Logical Drive-to-LUN mapping , and the Storage Partitioning option is not enabled, or the storage subsystem has reached its maximum number of allowable storage partitions .

Storage Partitioning is a Premium Feature that must be specifically enabled through the user interface.

How Do I Recover From This Error?

If the Storage Partitioning option is not enabled, use the Storage Subsystem >> Premium Feature >> Enable pull-down menu option to enable it. If you have not previously obtained a feature key file for Storage Partitioning, contact your storage supplier. See Obtaining a Feature Key File for more information.

If the storage subsystem has reached its maximum number of allowable partitions, look at your existing partitions and see whether it is possible to:

  1. Add hosts to an existing partition. See Learn About Granting Logical Drive Access to Hosts and Host Groups for more information.
  2. Change the mapping to a host group, instead of a host. See Changing a Logical Drive-to-LUN Mapping for more information.
  3. Delete any existing partitions no longer required. Ensure that you definitely don't need them before deleting. See Deleting a Host Port, Host, Host Group, or Logical Drive Mapping for more information.
