Hyper-V with S2D Redirected Mode

Post by mnstrcks »

Hey guys,

i have a strange behavior with my installation. I´m using veeam version 12.3.2 on a physical Server with a 2 node Hyper-V Cluster with storage spaces direct.
I added the cluster and the single nodes to the veeam inventory to backup the vms on the cluster and it works fine.

One issue I noticed is that the volumes of the cluster are now in redirected mode and not going back to normal.
Did i make a mistake there?

Which Hyper-V version is it?
Redirect Mode is usually involved during backup in older Hyper-V versions.

What do you mean that you have added the cluster and both nodes? Do you mean you have ran through the wizard 3 times?

Did he select for backup the VMs through the failover cluster? In the job I think you can see it when you click on the individual VMs. Then on the right you should see which server or IP was choosen for processing.

It is a bit hard to diagnose. So I can only guess here by the most common things. Maybe you ran into this one, as you shared that redirect mode is still happening after backup ? https://community.spiceworks.com/t/plea ... san/774118

Anyway if you think that this is an issue by our product or caused by our product, I suggest to open a support case with Veeam and upload logs so that our support team can have a look in more details.
