3PAR, Windows 2012 and ODX, how?

[Ole Thomsen_1]

I have a 3PAR 7200 with OS v3.1.2, and I am currently investigating ODX support for a Windows 2012 Hyper-V cluster.

It does not seem to work, Windows servers are configured according to "HP 3PAR Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 Implementation Guide" but when running fltmc.exe it shows that no filters are attached to the 3PAR volumes.

Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX), is only supported on Windows Server 2012 with the NTFS filesystems
