I have found fixes for Server 2008 and 2008 R2 but have yet to find a resolution
for Server 2012 R2. I have worked with EMC to try a resolve with no
luck. The issue is the e:\ volume is on the other node in the cluster but
is looking at this path due to a SAP service that installed to this
cluster volume location on this node "e:\usr\sap\trn\ascs01\exe\sapstartsrv.exe".
Below is the VSS event id, vssadmin list writers, and diskshadow output for
further information.
