MOUNT POINTS:

Mount points are useful to add volumes without adding separate drives for them which are robust against system changes. The beauty of mount points is that one volume point can have multiple volume points giving system administrator ability to expand the storage capacity easily. Disk management utility can be used to assign mount point folder path to the drive.

ISSUE:

 

SCCM2012SP1- Error 3364 on SQL 2012SP1 mount points.

 

CAUSE:

 SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER “Hierarchy Monitor detected that the Database on drive is running out of space on mount points.

Though mount point runs out of space but volume drive which it points usually would have huge amount of space, Hence We need to force the configuration manager to ignore such messages through state message filter rules.

 

RESOLUTION:

Following steps can be used to create such state message filter rules on SCCM 2012 enforcing them

·        Log on to SCCMPrimary Site Server , Under Administration tab select Sites, right click on site listed and select Status Filter Rules

·         When new window opens select Create, provide details like Site Code, System, message ID(3364 here) and click next

·         Check options Do not forward to status summarizers and Do not process lower priority status filter rules and click next and ok

·         Now under Status Filter Rules you will find the rule just created ; select the rule created and increase it priority to 1 (Highest )
