Title
DL4300 unable to provision storage for repository. Error 4 is generated -
Description
New DL4300 device configuration is failing on the stage of provisioning repository. Error 4 is generated. There are Winbackup and RASR Virtual Disks already created -
Cause
Storage gap between RAID6 Virtual Disks. Possible reason: small repository was already created, then Winbackup and RASR. Then repository was deleted. New repository VD size is bigger than the gap. -

- expand Main System Chassis, Storage, expand PERC controller and click on Virtual Disks
- select RAID6 disks one by one, in Available Actions dropdown, select Delete and Apply/PerformAfter this operation, only 1 Virtual Disk with OS should be left
- stop the Core service
- open regedit and navigate to HKLM\Software\Apprecovery\Appliance key. Set FTBUConfigured value to false.
- navigate to HKLM\Software\Apprecovery\Core key, expand it. Export and delete FTBUconfigure key underneath the Core key
- start the Core service back
- open c:\Program Files\Apprecovery\Appliance\FTBU folder. Run FTBU.EXE in run as admin modeFTBU will process device reconfiguration, creating necessary Virtual Disks for Winbackup, RASR and Repository (Virtual Standby is optional)
Open RapidRecovery Core console and make sure that repository got provisioned successfully.
