Error 749 - The operation cannot complete because the disk pool limit would be exceeded.
Hello all.
I have a MD3260 and associated MD3060e fully populated with 120 physical discs. I currently have a disk pool configured with 88 physical disks and a 4 disk preservation capacity. When I attempt to add even a single unused physical disk I get the error
Error 749 - The operation cannot complete because the disk pool limit would be exceeded.
Which is odd as
- The manual says
"Each disk pool must have a minimum of eleven physical disks. Although there is no limit on the maximum number of physical disks that can comprise a disk pool, the disk pool cannot contain more physical disks than the maximum limit for each storage array."
- I have a backup site with the same kit where I have a pool wit 91 physical discs.
Where is this limit coming from?

Turns out that a RAID controller firmware update was required. I had another unit with older firmware that did not give the error so it was just the firmware version this unit had applied that was the issue.
Thanks to Alex.Gregory@dell.com who put me on the right path.

Hello CAI_IT_MGR,
What is the current size of your virtual disk in the disk pool that you’re trying to add new drive too as you didn’t list it in your post? There is a limit of 64TB virtual disk within a Dynamic Disk Pool so that can cause the error if your virtual disk is already at 64TB.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

3 - 54 Tb
4 - 4 Tb
5 - 3Tb
6 - 6 tb

This is the summary in the storage manager:
