Hi All,
I'm trying to create VSS Snapshot of a Windows8 VM by adding/engaging the Corresponding HyperV VM Component. The Snapshot creation getting succeeded but after DoSnapshotSet & Wait calls the HyperV writer Status reporting VSS_E_WRITERERROR_RETRYABLE error. What does this means, Is something wrong here? If so, what could be leading this. I see this is happening only If My Windows 8 VM has Storage Space configured. With Normal VHDs I didnt see this issue. Can anyone help here?
Setup Details:
1. Windows 2012 HyperV Server
2. Windows 8 VM with OS disk and another 2 VHDs(Say, VHD1 & VHD2)
3. A Storage Space configured out of VHD1 & VHD2
4. Creating Snapshot Using Sample Snapshot APP
Applicatiion Event Log when at the time Shadow creation.
A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f3, The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried,
the error may not reoccur.
. Changes that the writer made to the writer components while handling the event will not be available to the requester. Check the event log for related events from the application hosting the VSS writer.
Operation:

Context:
