KB2727972–W2008 R2 Cluster Node Crashes When You Restart A Node

Microsoft has posted a hotfix for a scenario where a cluster node crashes when you restart a computer in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment.

  • You deploy a failover cluster in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment.
  • You enable the Volume Shadow Copy Service on a cluster disk.
  • You replace a host bus adapter (HBA) on a cluster node.
  • You restart the cluster node.

In this scenario, the cluster node crashes.  This issue is triggered by a deadlock that occurs when the computer restarts.

A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft.
