Environment:
OS: Windows Server 2012 ,10 Node Hyper-v cluster
Model: ProLiant BL460c Gen8
Storage: FC,HP 3PAR
Error Message:
Multiple Virtual Machine’s went into paused state throwing error “Disk(s) running out of space though 30% free space available
Immediate Observations:
-
Only few Virtual machines went to paused state and observed all VM’s are coming from single volume let’s say Volume 1
-
Volume1 is having 30 % free space , checked with storage team whether the LUN is thick or thin as sometimes LUN may be exhausted if they allocated as thin. It is a thick LUN and no issues observed from storage
-
Tried to resume the VM, after sometime VM moving to pause state
-
Tried to move the CSV disk from one node to another – No Luck
-
Observed that there is no single recommended hotfix installed on any node in a cluster but all nodes are up to date with all critical patches
Resolution
- Based on above findings, assumed that there is some known issues would be there as error is misleading us to DISK’s are running out of space though 30% free space available.
- As there was no single recommended hotfix installed in cluster , initially installed Hype-v 2012 hotfixes on one node and taken restart.
- Move the Victim volume to the recently restarted node. – No issues observed
- Post keeping an observation, installed all recommended hotfixes
Finally, I am unsure which hotfix resolved exactly but I have seen below forums where these issues addressed in KB2791729 but it is a private hotfix
