The passive server has less available space than the active server

Symptoms

  • Replication stops
  • The following error is reported:

    [N27]Failed to write information for the file: {filename} to the disk. Either the disk is full or the quota (for the SYSTEM account) has been exceeded.

Purpose

This article provides more information on the passive server having less available space than the active server

Resolution

The passive server has less available disk space than the active server, preventing updates from being replicated to the passive server because the quantity of updates from the active server exceed the passive server's available disk space.  

Free up some additional disk space on the passive server. Make sure you are not deleting data from the protected set as you might lose data in the event of a switchover. You may need to update the disk subsystem on the passive server.
 
When done, you need to start replication.
