How to run chkdsk on a cluster shared volume (CSV) in Hyper-V cluster

Question

I am using Hyper-V cluster, let's say having three nodes in cluster. Now one of the CSV is going message that "chkdsk scan needed on volume". How can I do it on a cluster shared volume

Answer 1

Hey,

You need to run chkdsk via Powershell targeting CSV mount point. As an example:

chkdsk.exe C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1 /scan  

This command will scan the issues on CSV. Check the following articles for more information:

I have to remove the storage from CSV then it will appear as drive let us say E: then I ran chkdsk for this E: drive and then I added this cluster storage into CSV.
