All-in-One Storage Manager The data cannot be deleted due to insufficient privileges. All iSCSI LUNs created by All-in-One Storage Manager on a Windows server as part of hosting Exchange, SQL Server, and user-defined application storage, contain System Volume Description Information, a hidden system folder. This folder is by default only accessible to the SYSTEM user, and not to the Administrators group.

All-in-One Storage Manager Restart the specific wizard to launch the task again. In some cases, the Create Volume task will fail after storage has already been provisioned and an iSCSI LUN has been created on the AiO. If this occurs, running the wizard again will result in another iSCSI LUN (vhd file) being created on the Workaround AiO and the initial iSCSI LUN will take up extra space without being utilized.

All-in-One Storage Manager When a single iSCSI LUN is presented to a SQL or Exchange server, the database file and database transaction log file are both created on the volume contained in the iSCSI LUN. If the iSCSI LUN was created on the AiO as a user-defined application, ASM will discover that the database files are now in the volume and it will promote the user-defined application to a SQL Server or Exchange application instance.
