An example of Skype for Business error processing for Lync in-place upgrade

Lync Server 2013 upgrade Skype for Business Server 2015 so so easy, So do.

Everything goes step by step, all the way through the demon, install the necessary IIS KB patches, SQL RtcLocal/LYNCLocal with sp1, delete the original Lync Server 2013 related components and databases, and then install Skype for Business Server 2015 components and databases, everything looks so smooth.

If the planning is not in place (install the system and Lync, and the space planning of the system disk is relatively small), an error must be reported. Today, let's take a look at the error message of local upgrade:

Chinese error report:

Error: command execution failed: Install-CsDatabase could not find a suitable drive to store database files. This is usually due to insufficient disk space; typically, you should have at least 32 GB of free space before trying to create a database. However, there may be other reasons why this command failed. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=511023

English error report:

Install-CsDatabase was unable to find suitable drives for storing the database files. This is often due to insufficient disk space; typically you should have at least 32 GB of free space before attempting to create databases. However, there are other possible reasons why this command could have failed. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=511023

The URL referred to by the query is a reference for manually executing the Install-CsDatabase command to install the database, and there is no complete solution.

The error message is obvious, that is, the command executed by the database does not specify a specific path and is installed on the system disk by default. In order to ensure a smooth installation, at least 32G disk space is required. Is there any way to solve it?

During the installation process, careful colleagues noticed the details of the installation command before the error was reported, similar to the following:

Install-CSDatabase- Confirm:$false-Verbose-LocalDatabases-Report "C:\ Users\ lyncadmin.BYD\ AppData\ Local\ Temp\ Install-CSDatabase- [2016 / 07 / 06] [02 / 45 / 49] .html"

Record the status to: C:\ Users\ lyncadmin.BYD\ AppData\ Local\ Temp\ Bootstrapper- [2016 / 07 / 06] [02 / 57 / 33] .html

Complain: Microsoft should log the specific actions performed in the upgrade process and generate html or txt files after the upgrade is completed, so that IT administrators can have a better understanding of the upgrade process.

To see the details of the installed command, the solution is to manually execute the installation database command Install-CsDatabase, add the specific path parameter-DatabasePaths, install the database to another drive letter, and it is recommended to install it to the directory CsData.

The command is as follows:

Install-CSDatabase-LocalDatabases-DatabasePaths "D:\ CsData"-Verbose

After executing the command, click "retry" on the upgrade deployment tool again, and you can successfully perform the following upgrade steps.
