We have a pool with 10 CSV clusters and one of the clusterdisk is stuck in redirect mode since the beengine for some reason stopped in the middle of a hyper-v backup.
Normally hyper-v will go back and clean up after 30 min with no backupjobs beeing initiated, but this have not happened. Ive checked the vss writers and there is shadow snapshots there.
We probably need to clean up ourself, but im not quite sure how i can do this, and i really dont want to destroy make something wrong on the clusterdisk since many of our production VMs reside on that.
Here are the output from list shadows.

Can anyone explain me how we can get the disk in online mode again, and restart the backupjob.

Since i could not wait for support, i tried a reboot of the host and that fixed the issues.

I tried to delete the snapshots, but got the following error:
Error: Snapshots were found, but they were outside of your allowed context. Try
removing them with the
backup application which created them.
