Insufficient RAM for LocalDB Creation
If there is insufficient RAM to create a LocalDB, leading to a "Failed to create a tenant" error in the log file, the issue may be attributed to low available memory on the system. This specific error message, "Failed to create a tenant," serves as an indicator in the log file, highlighting the connection between the error and inadequate RAM.
Resolution
- Examine the installed log file for relevant information. Look for entries indicating "Failed to create a tenant."
- Identify and terminate non-essential processes consuming system memory to release RAM.
- Attempt to create the LocalDB instance again after freeing up sufficient memory.
