ActiveImage Protector Error Code

AIP_DISKSIZE_CHANGE -246 Change disk size

Causes

This issue occurs because the standby VM was created using the specs from before the disk size change. 

Workaround

Please follow these steps to recreate the standby VM:

1) Right-click on the schedule ＞ Delete the standby VM from the list./p

For detailed steps to delete the standby VM, please visit: Deleting standby replica or standby VM.

2) If the backup image set created before the disk size change is in the destination folder, move it to a different folder. Keeping the old image set will not resolve Exit Code -246, even if you select it.

3) Create a full backup image after changing the disk size. If it's already created, skip this step.

4) Select the backup image created after the disk size change to create the standby VM.
