UPDATED 1/6/2014 – New hotfixes available
Some customers are experiencing failures on Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hosts that utilize Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs) when backing up virtual machines (VM’s) using System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager (DPM 2012) with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later.
When this occurs the following error is logged on the Hyper-V hosts.
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
Event ID: 5120
Logged: <date/time>
Details: Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume2' ('ClusterStorage Volume 2') is no longer available on this node because of 'STATUS_CLUSTER_CSV_AUTO_PAUSE_ERROR(c0130021)'. All I/O will temporarily be queued until a path to the volume is reestablished.
You may also see the VM’s pause temporarily, go in to a paused state, shut down, see memory spikes or CSV go into a failed state on the Hyper-V hosts. Configuring serialized backups doesn't help the problem.
It has been determined that any backup product using shadow copies results in the same errors, thus this isn't necessarily a DPM 2012 issue.
The Windows and DPM teams have released a series of fixes to address some general Cluster, CSV backup and DPM issues and are now available for download.
