Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You use 4 SSD disks to create a 12-disk storage pool on a Windows Server 2012 R2-based cluster.
-
You turn off one of the disks.
In this scenario, the data path crashes because of a read error from the SSD space, and the disk loses a Persistent Reservation (PR). Therefore, the storage pool stops working.Note PRs are used by Windows failover clustering to arbitrate access to shared disks and to avoid data corruption.
