Cause

Issue in the product.

Acronis Agent for Hyper-V detects the Hyper-V IDE disks as MS Virtual PC IDE disks that have a 127 GB limitation.

This has been fixed and the fix is available in the latest build of the product. See Installation of the latest update of an Acronis product.

To work around the issue without installing the latest build, use IDE disks that are under 127 GB in size.
