Hello.
I am currently using DPM 2010 and evaluating DPM 2012. In the 2012 setup (on a dedicated virtual server 2012 instance) I have figured out most of the setup, but I cannot add a protection group.
I have created a 100GB drive on the server and initialized it as a dynamic disk with a simple volume. At the point where I added the disk to the storage pool, it showed up as 99.98GB free space. As soon as it was added, it displayed in DPM as a 100GB drive with 104GB allocated. If I try to add a protection group it will tell me that there is not enough space in the storage pool. The drive that I am trying to add is 20GB.
What do I need to do? Is there some minimum size that a disk needs to be to be in the storage pool?
