Storage Migration Service Error 36890
- I think I have a solution, temporary.
I managed to successfully proceed and transfer files.
I used the old version of the "Storage Migration Service" - v.2.44.0.
To do so:
- Connect to a server where WAC is installed via console (in my case destination server via IPMI);
- Uninstall WAC;
- Download the WAC installer;
- Disable internet access;
- Install WAC;
- Go to WAC settings -> Extensions -> disable
"Automatically update extensions";
- enable Internet;
- Proceed to the migration job.
Maybe this will work for you too, till all we're waiting to fix the issue in the latest version of the Storage Migration Service extension.

Hi guys, I spent all weekend trying to get a migration done with no end to the obstacles. Then I hit a wall with install updates and it looks like this is the only solution. One issue, hard to do when you are remoted into the server. I hope this is fixed ASAP!
Hi OZSlayer,
I thought it was already fixed—jeez.
You're right, working on remote systems is tough. However, you can use Out-of-Band Management (IPMI, iDRAC, etc.) to manage this.Hi Noisyboy, I managed to get it done by installing ver 2311 and straight away going to settings and turning off all updates. Now I just have to sort 6000+ files that failed.
I shortcut this a bit. You can go into Settings > Extensions and uninstall the SMS extension. Then, when the screen comes back, install the old version that came during install (2.4.4 I think). It save all of my existing jobs and is running as it should now.
And thank you for this workaround. It was a huge help!- I'm glad I could help. The fact that you can get around this problem faster and with fewer steps. After all, not everyone can have access to the console.
- This workaround seems to be working for me too. Thanks!
- Thanks Noisyboy it appears to work for me too 🙂
(I haven't set the transfer going but can now get to that stage) but does get me past the loading screen - looks like this might be the workaround until resolved - Same problem here - 36890 - we hope MS will fix it soon ;-(
