Device configuration status code 29

Message: Drive index is in use by another drive

Explanation: On a request to add a drive to the device configuration, the requested drive index was in use on the targeted device host.

Recommended Action:

  • To avoid configuring a drive index that is already in use, use the Device Configuration Wizard (on supported device discovery platforms). The wizard automatically configures the drive index.

  • If you use a device configuration interface that allows the drive index to be specified, use the tpconfig -d command to determine the drive indexes that are already in use on the targeted device host. Then, specify a drive index that is not in use.
