Today I figured out an issue that has been holding up moving forward with my deployment of Hyper V. I didn’t find much on the web when I first ran into this issue so I hope this helps someone else in the future.
Background
Building a 5 node Windows 2012 Hyper V with a CSV the storage is presented from a HP EVA 6000. Initially the build was fine until I started testing failover testing. On one of the node reboots storage failed to come back online. This led me to do some additional testing on the Cluster Shared Volume, found that I could not change the owner of the volume.

After a lot of double checking everything and updating the firmware on the EVA and all of the drivers on the server. The problem still persisted but I was able to verify at this point everything was running with drivers for Windows 2012. So this either had to be a bug or a setting that was incorrect. It turned out to be a host persona setting in the EVA.

The Operating system type was set on windows on some of the host in the cluster, after changing the setting to Microsoft Windows 2008, I was able to change the owner of the CSV without any problems.
