#Lync Server 2013 CU1 Database update error
phyler
Being that I love being on the bleeding edge, the first night that CU1 was out, I went to install it. The update package installed fine and I rebooted the server. Then when I went to run the database updates, I got the following error:
Install-CsDatabase : Command execution failed: Cannot find any suitable disks for database files. You must manually specify database paths. At line:1 char:1

My environment still has Lync 2010 in it and the Central Management Store is located on the 2010 pool. I naturally thought this must be the issue but then I looked a bit deeper. The answer was somewhat simple. The disk that the SQL databases were on had less than 10% free. I expanded the drive and the database update went through without issue.
Lesson learned, make sure you have plenty of disk (just like Exchange) when doing the updates.
*** UPDATE ***
Microsoft has released a KB article about this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2816266/en-us?sd=rss&spid=924
Key take-away, when performing the update, you must have 16GB free on the local disks.
