Explanation: A new partition was created on the server containing the most recent parent of the new context. The new context was created in the new partition; then an attempt was made to migrate that partition so that it would become a local partition (on the new server being installed). The attempt to change the local partition to the master replica and delete the (remote) secondary replica failed.

Possible Cause: Traffic on the network might be excessive.

Action: Continue with the installation. After it is completed, change the read/write replica to a master replica. You can then delete the replica on the server identified in the error message. However, this is not absolutely necessary.
