Problem: The Axcient Virtual Appliance fails to boot successfully. The console displays something similar to this:

too few disks

Cause: This can be caused by the IOPS on the datastore being too low for the vApp. This frequently happens when the vApp is moved to a datastore with lower IOPS.

Two examples where this may happen:

  • The vApp is moved to a new host with its own datastore.
  • The vApp is moved to a different datastore on the same host.

Solution: To resolve this, please relocate the vApp to a datastore with sufficient available IOPS.
