Can Hyper-V gracefully handle iSCSI interruptions?

  • 772

My Hyper-V machine stores its VM disks on an iSCSI volume located on a Synology DiskStation.

Occasionally (once a month) the DiskStation will restart itself for firmware and package updates, this causes an interruption to the iSCSI services and Hyper-V moves to kill the VM instances, reporting being unable to access the VM configuration.

Is there a way to configure Hyper-V to instead immediately pause a VM and wait for iSCSI connectivity to resume instead of killing the VMs?

  1. This is a feature of Windows Server 2016, still in preview. Earlier versions of Windows Server can't do what you're asking.
