So I am on the phone with PSS and they are trying to tell me (after checking all updates etcc) you should change it to IDE
I said to them if i want to "band-aid" the issue I wouldn't have ponied up the 269.00 MS Reply "umm please hold while I confer with colleagues" Jean-Paul Natola From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] event 129 on 2012 hyper-V guest Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 09:53:59 -0500 24GB RAM and 4 vCPUs has nothing to do with disk I/O – it’s still the same amount of read/write requests going to the disk. Did i mention we went from 7200k sata in a mirror to 15 SAS on a raid 10 with 6 disk, and it not like my users hit it with anything other than excel/word/ppt and an occasional quark or photoshop file Jean-Paul Natola From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] event 129 on 2012 hyper-V guest Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 03:20:14 +0000 24GB RAM and 4 vCPUs has nothing to do with disk I/O – it’s still the same amount of read/write requests going to the disk. The issue in the thread was for Windows Server 2012, and if you read through the whole thread, there was eventually a hotfix that some users were pointed to. However, it does seem that this as a result of Microsoft issuing a fix, which indicates a software issue, not a hardware issue. Lastly, all the various workarounds you mention are not suggested by Microsoft in the thread – they are things that various users are suggesting.

The issue seems to be I/O load – if the driver on the host is bad, that could be causing a backlog of I/O requests in the guest.
