Rectifying mounting errors during Hyper–V deployment

For HyperV Cluster deployment, if the cluster configuration fails to mount the disk and create the cluster storage volume:

Error 01

SCVMM reports DNS error during mounting of the available storage on SCVMM cluster. This is due to intermittent network failure during the mounting operation.

Resolution

Retry the deployment, so that ASM can retry to mount the volume(s).

Error 02

SCVMM reports DNS error during mounting of the available storage on SCVMM cluster . Trying to reuse an existing volume used in another HyperV cluster.

Resolution

HyperV or SCVMM do not allow mounting a volume which is used in another cluster (Active / Inactive). ASM does not format already formatted volume to avoid any data-loss.

In case an existing volume is used for cluster configuration, ASM will fail the cluster deployment to avoid the data-loss. To configure the volume to be used in this cluster below steps needs to be performed.

This volume needs to be formatted manually from one of the server that needs to be added to the cluster.

  1. RDP to the Server using local administrator account.
  2. Select Server Manager> Tools> Computer Management> Disk Management
  3. Select the volume that is failing
  4. Select Online > Initialize disk (Partition Style MBR)
  5. Create Simple Volume. Ensure to deselect the drive letter.
  6. On SCVMM, refresh the host and the cluster
  7. Retry the deployment from ASM.
