Event ID 1584 — Cluster Shared Volume Backup
Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
.jpg)
Because of the design of Cluster Shared Volumes, backup applications for these volumes must meet specific requirements for compatibility. The Cluster Shared Volumes feature allows volumes in cluster storage to be accessed by all nodes of a failover cluster. This makes it possible for virtual machines to use volumes on the same LUN (disk) while still being able to fail over (or move from node to node) independently of one another.

Resolve
Confirm Backup Compatibility with CSV
There appears to be a problem with the way that a backup application is performing a backup on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). Review the following:
- Confirm with your backup solution vendor that the backup application is designed to be compatible with Cluster Shared Volumes.
- Review any instructions the vendor provides for using their backup application.
- Review the System and Application event logs, and any specific event logs for the backup application, looking for any errors that may be related to CSV or the backup application.
Verify
Confirm that the backup application can back up and restore Cluster Shared Volumes correctly. After backing up and restoring, check the System and Application event logs, and any specific event logs for the backup application, confirming that there are no errors related to backing up and restoring Cluster Shared Volumes.
