When trying to create protection groups I get the following errors in DPM 2010:
Error 360: The operation failed due to a virtual disk service error
Error details: Unknown error (0x80042428)
Recommended action: Retry the operation.

I have rebooted, restarted Virtual Disk service and added a new drive to
storage pool. Have tried just local disks and with Hyper-V. Result is the
same in each case.

Now what should I try?

From the website:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd208031(PROT.10).aspx This error
is given by VDS as it is finding the disk as ReadOnly(0x80042428
VDS_E_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED)

Below is simple sequence of commands clear the ReadOnly Attribute of a disk.
After that please retry the operation.

cmd> diskpart

Can you please try creating a volume using diskmgmt.msc. If you are able to
create the volume using can you please send us the DPM logs using tool
present at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=14392186-6707-45a5-8987-29665abbd6f5&displaylang=en

If volume creating is failing with diskmgmt.msc, You can try the following
options:
1. diskpart-> select disk $num -> clean -> convert dynamic -> convert basic
2. diskpart -> select disk $num -> clean all -> convert dynamic -> convert
basic(clean all is a really long running operation)
3. Using diskmgmt.msc convert dynamic to basic and basic to dynamic/basic to
dynamic and dynamic to basic.

If this one doesn’t help we need to collect the VDS logs. I’ll try to get
this info on how to collect the VDS logs and contact. Also as mentioned in
another thread can you make sure you don't have any issues with the disk
driver.

Thanks,
Praveen D

I am able to manually create volumes on that disk.

How do you want me to send the DPM logs? Is there a specific email address
to send to?

Also, there are a number of vbscrips and executables in the
MPSreports\dpm\bin folder. Which do I use?
