<div>There were bugs in some of the early OVAs that would result in partitions being unaligned. There are some actions that would result in partitions becoming unaligned (format, etc) on 8.0 and 8.5. </div>
<div><u><b>Every</b></u> jump upgrade will absolutely result in unaligned partitions (because the 7.x installer doesn't create aligned partitions). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Outside of jump there is nothing special about a 9.1(2) upgrade that creates unaligned partitions. We simply added code to check for it and report in both CCMAdmin and in 'show hardware'. If you are seeing this on an existing virtualized deployment you
were unaligned before the upgrade.</div>

<p>This would be correct the code in the OS didn't handle alignment properly until the first VMware kosher release 8.0.2 or 3 if I remember right. So no matter if the ova is right or not as soon as an earlier release starts up it moves things out of alignment
somehow.</p>

<p>If you have access to the partner community there were VoEs when jump upgrades came out where it was explained in depth.

<p>Out of alignment has caused some bad performance issues in installs and hence the check was added and the requirement for DRS restore to a clean built 9.1.2 VM for jump upgrades.</p>
