Hi
I have a 2 Node Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Cluster and as part of a requirement for one of My Virtual Guest machines - I need to present a Pass Thru Disk to the Virtual Guest. Every time there is a change to the underlying storage (Even extremely Minor changes such as relabelling an unrelated LUN) the Pass Thru Disk Fail.
I have created the Pass Thru Disk by following MS Procedures

Configuring Pass-through Disks in Hyper-V
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2008/10/24/configuring-pass-through-disks-in-hyper-v.aspx
- Present Storage to Hyper-V Physical Hosts
- Bring the Storage Online - Initialise and then Bring Offline
- In Cluster Failover Manager - Add the Storage as a Disk and Bring Online
- In Hyper-V Manager - For the Virtual Guest - Add a SCSI controller - then Add the Pass though Disk as a Hard Disk
- On the Virtual Guest - Power Up and Let the application on the Guest Manage the Storgage (In this case DPM 2012)
Has anyone seen behaviour like this on pass through disks -as far as I can see I am doing everything right from a Storage Perspective - have also spoke to the DPM team and they believe that DPM is not the issue here
Many Thanks
