Symptoms

Assume that you have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2012-based multi-node failover cluster that uses the Microsoft Device Specific Module (MSDSM) and Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO). The following events occur at almost the same time:

  • A new instance of an existing device arrives. Specifically, a new path to an MPIO disk is generated.

  • MSDSM finishes an I/O request. The request was the last outstanding I/O request.

In this scenario, some cluster nodes crash. Additionally, you receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:

STOP: 0x0000009E (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)

Notes

  • This Stop error describes an USER_MODE_HEALTH_MONITOR issue.

  • The parameters in this Stop error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.

  • Not all "Stop 0x0000009E" errors are caused by this issue.

Cause

This issue occurs because a remove lock on a logical unit number (LUN) is obtained two times, but only released one time. Therefore, the Plug and Play (PnP) manager cannot remove the device, and then the node crashes.

Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.1.760
    1.18xxx

    Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    GDR

    6.1.760
    1.22xxx

    Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
