Description

• Any version of N-central that utilizes a single VHD disk method for installation requires partners to migrate to an Azure instance that utilizes the Azure Managed Disk deployment method.

Environment

• N-able N-central All Versions

Solution

• The previous deployment methods for N-central utilized a single VHD disk method for installation. This would have been uploaded to Azure during the install process.
• You can identify if you are affected by checking the size of your OS disk in the Azure portal:

• If you ONLY see an "OS Disk" listed, you are running an affected server.

• If, however, you see multiple "Data Disks" on the above screen, you are not impacted and can continue with N-central upgrades.
• If you are impacted, you will need to complete a migration to the newer Azure Managed Disk instance type by following the instructions in the N-central Install Guide
• Once you have restored your N-central server, you will need to call Support, or open a critical priority ticket to have the license reactivated.
