[13917] Imported disk has too many partitions

PSAlert_13917_SCL_ALERT_BADDISK_Monitor (UnitMonitor)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

As of Matrix Server 3.4, the maximum number of partitions on a disk or LUN is limited to 31. If you upgraded from a release earlier than 3.4, you may have imported disks or LUNs with more than 31 partitions, and may have created dynamic volumes using those higher-numbered partitions. The higher-numbered partitions will continue to work correctly; however, you should be aware of the following:

- A new volume cannot include subdevices having partition numbers above 31. Existing volumes cannot be extended to include the higher-numbered partitions.

- You will not be able to take a hardware snapshot of partitions with numbers above 31.

The Alert will remain until the disks containing more than 31 partitions are deported.
