Hi,
I have setup 2 different SQL 2012 Availability Group group clusters which are identical in every respect except the Operating System. The working environment is running Windows 2008 R2 and the problem environment is Windows 2012. What I believe is occurring in the problem environment is that the VNN scoped share for FILESTREAM is not being created when a FILESTREAM enabled database is added to the Availability Group as per the link below. When simply access the 2008 R2 server with a UNC path I can see the FILESTREAM share for both servers and the AG listener but on Windows 2012 I only see the FILESTREAM share for the individual nodes and not the AG listener.

The error I receive is below:
OpenSqlFileStrem
The network name cannot be found
I've validated that the Path() variable for FILESTREAM is using the Virtual network name and also validated that the FILESTREAM cluster resource is available and online.
Any thoughts on what might be occurring here? Is there a way to create the VNN scoped share manually? Thanks in advance.
