Hello All,

Sorry if the my question is a bit akward.
I'm using a windows Failover Cluster with Cluster Shared Volume exported from HP3PAR storage system through iscsi.
I recently enforced SMB signing and all of a sudden my CSVFS was not accessible on my nodes.

Can anyone share his experience or knowledge on this issue ?

    Hello @Sidiki CAMARA ,

    This article is for known issues on Performance, but I think it can be useful ask it can point you to the settings and reasons how SMB signing interacts with the CSVs

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/reduced-performance-after-smb-encryption-signing

    Hope it helps,

    Hello again,

    Also can you review the requirements and considerations for using CSV in a failover cluster from this link
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/failover-cluster-csvs

    Before using CSV in a failover cluster, review the network, storage, and other requirements.
