Cluster Shared Volume redirected access was turned on

Microsoft.Windows.6.2.Cluster.Cluster.Shared.Volume.redirected.access.was.turned.on (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

In a failover cluster, virtual machines can use Cluster Shared Volumes that are on the same LUN (disk), while still being able to fail over (or move from node to node) independently of one another. Virtual machines can use a Cluster Shared Volume only when communication between the cluster nodes and the volume is functioning correctly, including network connectivity, access, drivers, and other factors.

Event Details

Event ID:

5136

Source:

Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering

Symbolic Name:

DCM_CSV_INTO_REDIRECTED_MODE

Message: Cluster Shared Volume '%1' ('%2') redirected access was turned on. Access to the storage device will be redirected over the network from all cluster nodes that are accessing this volume. This may result in degraded performance. Please turn off redirected access for this volume.Search System Error Codes ( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83027).

Causes

Redirected access is turned on in the storage device over the network from all cluster nodes that are accessing this volume. This may result in degraded performance.

Resolutions

CSV - Check redirected access status for a disk

If you do not currently have Event Viewer open, to view the event message, see "Opening Event Viewer and view events related to failover clustering." View the event message for information about the disk in Cluster Shared Volumes that has redirected access turned on.

If redirected access is turned on for volume backup, it will be turned off automatically. If redirected access was turned on manually, it must be turned off again manually. For more information, see "Checking and turning off redirected access for a disk in Cluster Shared Volumes."

To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on the node in the failover cluster, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.

Checking and turning off redirected access for a disk in Cluster Shared Volumes

To check and turn off redirected access for a disk in Cluster Shared Volumes:

Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering

To open Event Viewer and view events related to failover clustering:

Verify

Confirm that the Cluster Shared Volume can come online. If there have been recent problems with writing to the volume, it can be appropriate to monitor event logs and monitor the function of the corresponding clustered virtual machine, to confirm that the problems have been resolved.

To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server, and the account you use must be a domain account, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.

Confirming that a Cluster Shared Volume can come online

To confirm that a Cluster Shared Volume can come online:

Using a Windows PowerShell command to check the status of a resource in a failover cluster

To use a Windows PowerShell command to check the status of a resource in a failover cluster:

Get-ClusterSharedVolume

If you run the preceding command without specifying a resource name, status is displayed for all Cluster Shared Volumes in the cluster.
