ERROR_TIERING_STORAGE_TIER_NOT_FOUND
What ERROR_TIERING_STORAGE_TIER_NOT_FOUND means
ERROR_TIERING_STORAGE_TIER_NOT_FOUND (0x80830003) means the storage-tiering operation referred to a tier that the target volume does not currently expose.
The important identity is the tier on the specific volume being operated on. A tier name or identifier copied from another pool, retained after a pool or virtual-disk reconfiguration, or obtained from stale enumeration data can refer to an object that no longer exists for that volume.
What to capture
- The target volume or virtual-disk identity and the tier name/identifier supplied to the failing operation.
- The tiers returned by a fresh enumeration of that same storage object, including media type and current health/state.
- Any Storage Spaces or tiering operation that added, removed, renamed, resized, or re-created the tier before the failure.
- The first storage HRESULT and operation identifier if another optimization or tier-management job is still active.
Corrective action
Re-enumerate the tiers from the current target volume and use the identifier returned for that object. If the expected tier is genuinely absent, investigate the Storage Spaces configuration and health instead of repeatedly submitting the stale tier reference.
What this code does not prove
It does not by itself mean that an SSD or HDD has physically failed. The result is specifically about resolving the requested storage-tier object on the target volume.
