Blu Age L3 lab storage limit error
I am working on setup and L3 cardemo application but I've the following issue and the sequence of steps are below.
Refactorings:
Setup environment - Successful Setup Java - OK Setup tools (Maven) - Issue
Copying C:\Work\Resources\maven-repository -> D:\PhotonUser\Workshop - Error came up with insufficient storage error.
So I'm following the step of increasing storage size as recommended https://catalog.us-east-1.prod.workshops.aws/workshops/bf71c0bc-6d8a-4d04-9c10-ab479f7f0e37/en-US/environment/develop/storage
Increasing application settings storage
Step 4) diskpart command in AppStream session generates error due to user privileges / permissions? Access Denied
I can't copy the project files from C:\ to D:\ and can't increase the storage size due to limited permissions.
If you have any recommended steps then please suggest. Very much appreciated.
I'm the admin for the account but terminal is not giving allow permission (Yes) for diskpart execution.

Hi:
You can't increase the storage size from the AppStream's windows instance.
In the lab instructions: Increase application settings storage Step 2 is instructed to download file Profile.vhdx in order to proceed with the storage size's increase.
As an additional tip, if you use a Windows System, disable bitlocker because bitlocker brings some read only problems.
The issue you're experiencing in the AWS Blu Age L3 workshop is related to storage limitations and permissions in the Amazon AppStream 2.0 environment. Here are some recommendations to address your problem:
-
Storage Limit: The error you encountered while copying the Maven repository suggests that the default storage allocated to your AppStream instance is insufficient. This is a common issue in workshop environments.
-
Increasing Storage: The recommended step to increase storage by using the diskpart command is failing due to limited user privileges in the AppStream session. This is expected behavior as AppStream sessions typically don't provide administrative access.
-
Alternative Approach: Instead of trying to increase the storage or use diskpart, which requires elevated permissions, consider the following:
a. Use a smaller subset of the Maven repository if possible. Only copy the essential dependencies needed for the workshop.
b. If you need to transfer large files, try breaking them into smaller chunks and uploading them separately.
c. Check if there's an option in the workshop to use a pre-configured environment with the necessary tools and storage already set up.
-
File Transfer: Ensure that file transfer is enabled for your AppStream stack. This can be done by an administrator in the AppStream 2.0 console:
- Go to the "Stacks" section
- Select your stack
- Under "User Settings", ensure "File transfer" is set to "Upload and download"
-
Contact Workshop Support: If these steps don't resolve your issue, it's recommended to reach out to the workshop organizers or AWS support. They may be able to provide a workshop-specific solution or adjust the AppStream configuration to accommodate the storage needs.
-
Check Available Space: Before attempting to copy large files, check the available space on your AppStream instance to ensure you have enough room for the required files.
Remember, the limitations you're encountering are likely in place for security and resource management in the workshop environment. Always follow the workshop instructions closely and reach out to the provided support channels if you encounter persistent issues.

AppStream/Stacks users settings are already enabled with "Upload and download" but which is not helping.
The issue got resolved with extended volume size for D:\ on Profile.vhdx.
