edit Ok I figured out how to fix this issue, After searching the code online I found a post about someone trying to use this feature and getting the same error code with the vhds on the iscsi disks of a consumer nas which didn't support kerberos authentication.

Even though I had the cluster setup so the iscsi sync network was set to "do not allow cluster communication" and not used for live migration it was still trying to use this network for the shared vhdx.

The cause was the network binding order which had the iscsi nic above the server one. After putting the 10.0.0.x server adapter on top and rebooting no more messages appeared in the shared vhdx event log section and failover of the guest clusters worked.

Hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.

Hi ive been having an issue with my hyperv cluster on 2012 r2 with the latest starwind 8 RC and the new shared VHDX feature of server 2012 (This allows us to create guest clusters without installing mpio and setting up icsi on the guest nodes) I can create the cluster successfully but if any node is live migrated or the hyperv server restarts the failover doesn't work. The event log shows

Error attaching to volume. Volume: \Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy4. Error: The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device..
Error opening handle for initiator. Initiator: {914c57ed-53a7-48fc-b5a8-edce7a25456b}. Hostname: HYPERV1. File: \SCFS QUORUM.VHDX:SHAREDVIRTUALDISK. Error: The request is not supported..

IP is as follows
