DPM 2010 RC Backups Seem to Crash Cluster Service

Hi,

We are protecting a number of HyperV (2008 R2 Enterprise) hosts using DPM
2010 RC, we have two clusters of 4 nodes with each node running 4 virtual
machines. Our storage is on a Netapp 3140 connected via Emulex HBAs, and all
the servers run the Netapp DSM 3.3.1, NetApp host utils 5.2 and Snapdrive
6.2. Everything seems fine under normal conditions and when we create
recovery points manually but when our sheduled DPM backups run at 8PM we find
that the server appears to reboot and all of the guests on the node affected
move to another node, however the reboot doesn't appear to generate a blue
screen.

There appears to be no pattern to this and I've tried running different
guests on different hosts but nothing seems to help, the only common factor
seems to be that there are multiple backups occuring at the same time on the
same nodes that fail.

Here is one of the events logged when the problem occurs:

Time: 20:00:44
EventID: 1135
Cluster node 'SERVER' was removed from the active failover cluster
membership. The Cluster service on this node may have stopped. This could
also be due to the node having lost communication with other active nodes in
the failover cluster. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your
network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or
software errors related to the network adapters on this node. Also check for
failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such
as hubs, switches, or bridges.

Time: 20:03:00
EventID: 5121
Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('HyperV-CSV') is no longer directly
accessible from this cluster node. I/O access will be redirected to the
storage device over the network through the node that owns the volume. This
may result in degraded performance. If redirected access is turned on for
this volume, please turn it off. If redirected access is turned off, please
troubleshoot this node's connectivity to the storage device and I/O will
resume to a healthy state once connectivity to the storage device is
reestablished.

Time: 20:04:50
EventID: 41
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error
could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power
unexpectedly.

Ive installed the 2008 R2 hotfixes that should resolve the CSV problems on
both the host and guest operating systems but we still get this strange
restart problem.

Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

Thanks,
Richard

Is the host and cluster communication happening on the same network?
Is the cluster communication happening over a Gbps LAN? Can you increase the
Cluster heartbeat timeout by running the following on one of the node of the
cluster.

cluster.exe /prop ClusSvcHangTimeout=120

Hi,

Cluster comms and managament traffic occur accross the same 1GBPs NIC, the
HyperV guests have their own dedicated 1GBPs NIC, unfortunately we are
limited to two NICs per blade so can't separate this any further.

I've now updated the timeout as per your recommendation, I'll update this
post later once I know if the system is still going down.

Thanks,
Richard

The backup seems to succeed but the cluster resources failover to other
nodes, I then get various events from snapdrive and Navssprv saying tha the
LUNS were successfully unmapped and deleted around 1 minute later.

Hi Perry,

Thanks for the update, I'll try it without the Netapp DSM on a test platform
and let you know, our diskSignature is 3032226888 (0xb4bc1c48).

Please could you let me know if you find anything out regarding this problem.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Richard,

The errors 5121 in the cluster we must except because it's a normal
behaviour when you backup the CSV.

DPM or Snap manager for Hyper-V will backups the VM's per Host and put the
CSV in a backup state. The communications to the CSV from the other cluster
nodes (hosts) will be redirected. So the other hosts will try to connect true
an other network (card) to the owner of the CSV (the one that's backuped) and
then go to the Cluster Shared Volume.

When this happens you get the 5121 error. From NetApp they say there will be
KB soon on the Microsoft site.

Regards,

Perry

I'm having the same problem as you mentioned here with a different storage
solution and VSS provider. Were you able to resolve your issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am having the same problem with EqualLogic PS6000 and Equallogic VSS provider install on Hyper-V. This provider is compatible with DPM2010 and Hyper-V R2.

Someone has a solution ?

Thanks for reply.

Hi,

We have the same problem only we use the NetApp Snapmanager for Hyper-V and
get the same error 5121 on the hosts. Microsoft and Netapp are asking me to
install DPM 2010 rc and try to backup with it. So they can see if the problem
is by NetApp DSM or not. You could try to uninstall the Netapp Ontap (Mpio)
DSM and use the ms MPIO.

Also you could check the following command in a dos box on the cluster:

cluster.exe res "CSV1" /priv

You get a list of private properties.
What is the DiskSignature property? Is it 0 (0x0)

Perry

I don't think that error 5121 is normal and we have except that.

If I don't have room for hardware snapshots then I don't get errors! Just information, Event Id 5140 Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('Cluster Disk 2') backup was turned on. Once the backup application completes the backup process, the Cluster Shared Volume backup mode will be turned off. If the backup application has not initiated a snapshot using the Volume Shadow Copy Service within 30 minutes, Cluster Shared Volume backup will be turned off.

And when backup ends, then Event 5122: Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('Cluster Disk 2') has now resumed normal operation.

But if I have room for hardware snapshot, then I get error 5121 and after 2-4 minutes Event 5122: Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('Cluster Disk 2') has now resumed normal operation.

So it's releated with hardware VSS provider - maybe it works badly.

I use IBM DS3512 and LSI VSS hardware provider software.
