ANS2748E
An assigned virtual disk to Hyper-V virtual machine 'virtualmachinename' exceeds the maximum capacity limit. The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client cannot backup virtual machines with disks that exceed the limit of two terabytes.

Explanation

The IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager client detected that a Virtual Machine has assigned a disk whose capacity exceeds two terabytes. Virtual disks that exceed 2 terabytes are currently not supported by incremental forever backups.

System action

The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager found a virtual disk whose capacity exceeds two terabytes on a virtual machine scheduled for back up.

User response

There are several options available: Remove the disk from the virtual machine, shrink the disk to under two terabytes, copy the data to virtual disk with a capacity under two terabytes. Even though incremental backup is not available, the always full backup type is compatible with disks over two terabytes.
