Disaster Recovery (DR) Wizard reports an error during storage cloning operation in case of SRDF

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
This is observed when you are configuring disaster recovery in an SRDF replication environment using the DR wizard and you choose the temporary storage cloning option. (3019858, 3019876)
The DR wizard attempts to create the temporary disk group and volumes at the secondary site, but fails with the following error messages:
ERROR V-16-0-0 (1420:2800)
(:CVMPlugin::GetErrorString - UMI message : :0)     Unable to reserve a
majority of dynamic disk group members.
Failed to start SCSI reservation thread.ERROR V-16-0-0 (1420:2800)
(:VMAPI: CVMPlugin::__CommitCreateDGorAddDiskstoDG::
VxVmUpgradeToDynamicDiskEx failed:0)
VMAPI: VxVmUpgradeToDynamicDiskEx failed.
Workaround
Even if the DR wizard fails with these errors, the disk group creation operation is successful in the background. You must launch the DR wizard again and complete the wizard flow to perform the remaining operations.
