CLUSTER_CSV_STATE_TRANSITION_INTERVAL_TIMEOUT_LIVEDUMP

CSV state-transition timeout live dump for CLUSTER_CSV_STATE_TRANSITION_INTERVAL_TIMEOUT_LIVEDUMP

CLUSTER_CSV_STATE_TRANSITION_INTERVAL_TIMEOUT_LIVEDUMP is bug check code 0x0000016F.

CSV state transitions coordinate ownership, direct I/O, redirected I/O, pause/resume, and failover behavior. This live dump means a transition interval exceeded its expected progress window.

How to read it in a dump

The key evidence is the CSV state before and after the timeout, the owner node, and cluster service communication.
Storage latency, network disruption, filter drivers, or a hung worker can block transition progress.
This is a cluster progress problem, not merely an application I/O error.

What to check

Review cluster logs with the dump timestamp and check CSV state changes.
Verify cluster network health, storage path health, and file-system filter activity.
Check for repeated transition timeouts on the same volume or node.
