+# Troubleshoot storage provisioning issues observed during cluster and node pool creation
+
+This article describes the issue where new AKS Arc nodes are created on a single storage path/volume of the Azure Local cluster, breaking the expected round-robin distribution amongst volumes. Over time, this might cause insufficient disk space on that path, potentially resulting in deployment failures.
+
+## Symptoms
+
+During cluster creation or node pool creation and scale operations you might see the following error message: 
+
+```bash
+The system failed to create <Azure resource name>: There is not enough space on the disk.
+```
+
+
+## Cause
+
+- The issue is caused by a recent regression introduced in Azure Local version 2506. 
+
+## Mitigation
+
+This issue was fixed in AKS on [Azure Local, version 2507](/azure/azure-local/whats-new?view=azloc-2507#features-and-improvements-in-2507). That said, this mitigation works only when you create new Azure Local instances with 2507 version. Upgrading from Azure Local versions 2506 to 2507 will not resolve the issue.
+
+### Workaround for Azure Local versions 2506
+
+This issue only affects clusters in Azure Local version 2506. Install the [support module](/azure/aks/aksarc/support-module.md) and run the commands provided in this module. 
+
+```powershell
+Test-SupportAksArcKnownIssues
+```
+
+Run the following the command to fix this known issue on your deployment.
+
+```powershell
+Invoke-SupportAksArcRemediation
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+Once the fix is done, you should be able to create your clusters and node pools. If you still encounter issues feel free to reach out to Microsoft Support.  
+
+## Contact Microsoft Support
+
+If the problem persists, collect the [AKS cluster logs](get-on-demand-logs.md) before you [create a support request](aks-troubleshoot.md#open-a-support-request).
+
+## Next steps
+
+- [Use the diagnostic checker tool to identify common environment issues](aks-arc-diagnostic-checker.md)
+- [Review AKS on Azure Local architecture](cluster-architecture.md)

 ## About Azure Local releases
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> Azure Local previously followed an annual release cadence for OS and feature updates, with versions like 23H2 and 22H2. The versioning model has now changed to align with a monthly release train, like 2507, 2506. However, references to older versioning might still appear in some documentation.

 The Azure Local includes multiple release trains: 2411, 2503, 2504, 2505, and so forth. Each release train after 2411 is either a feature build or cumulative update.
 
 - **Feature build**: The feature update build is the initial version of the software in a release train. Feature releases go beyond quality and security fixes, incorporating product enhancements, including updates for Azure Local services and agents.
