Description

Challenge

This article describes how to fix the warning/error “ConfigStoreRootPath cluster parameter is not defined” appearing in the following situations: When attempting to add a Windows Server 2016 and later Hyper-V cluster to the Veeam Backup & Replication Console. When attempting to backup a VM with a shared virtual disk located on a Windows Server 2016 and later Hyper-V cluster.

Cause

In Hyper-V 2016 and later Microsoft implemented a possibility to share a virtual hard disk (in .vhdx or .vhds format only) between two or more VMs and use that virtual hard disk as shared storage when building guest clusters. When adding a Windows Server 2016 and later Hyper-V cluster to the Veeam Backup & Replication Console, you must decide where to store metafiles created during the backup process of the VMs from the shared virtual hard disk (i.e. information about snapshot groups, etc.). By default, the metafiles location is not defined, so you need to define it manually.

Solution

To check the existing configuration run the following PS command on any node of the cluster:
