Hi.
I have a customer that has created a new Hyper-V cluster with 4 volumes in their SAN. For some reason volumes 1 and 3 are marked to be run in a separate monitor though. From the cluster validation test:
This resource is configured to run in a separate monitor. By default, resources are configured to run in a shared monitor. This setting can be changed manually to keep it from affecting or being affected by other resources. It can also be set automatically by the failover cluster. If a resource fails it will be restarted in a separate monitor to try to reduce the impact on other resources if it fails again. This value can be changed by opening the resource properties and selecting the 'Advanced Policies' tab. There is a check-box 'run this resource in a separate Resource Monitor'.
Validating cluster resource Volume2.
Validating cluster resource Volume3.

Validating cluster resource Volume4.
The cluster can mark resources to be run in a separate monitor under certain circumstances but as far as I know the cluster has not malfunctioned or crashed so I can't figure out why it would do this on it's own.
Is there any reason why we shouldn't reset these resources to be run in a shared monitor?
Thanks!
