RegRep resource may fault while bringing the fire drill service group online during "Run Fire Drill" operation

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
Occasionally, when you run a fire drill using the Fire Drill Wizard, the RegRep resource faults and the fire drill service group fails to come online. This occurs due to a VCS error (V-16-10051-5508).
To work around this issue
  1. Stop the Fire Drill Wizard.
  2. Bring the fire drill service group offline.
  3. In the fire drill service group, bring online the MountV resource on which the RegRep resource depends.
  4. Copy the contents of the primary RegRep volume to the secondary RegRep volume.
  5. Bring online the entire fire drill service group. If no other problem exists, the service group comes online.
  6. Run the Fire Drill Wizard again, selecting the Restore to Prepared State option. You can then select theRun Fire Drill option to run the fire drill again.
  7. Proceed as during a normal run of the Fire Drill Wizard.
