Error Message:

Cluster resource 'name' failed.

Explanation:

The resource DLL has signaled a failure to the Cluster service. The failure returns a data value, which is a fixed constant that conveys only that the resource failed. This error is probably preceded in the Event Log by the event of the resource failing. If the resource doesn't log an error on failing, the Cluster service reports the failure with this error.

User Action:

Recovery action depends on the resource DLL. If the resource DLL outputs a data value to the event log when it fails, you can use that data value to find a recovery action. In Event Viewer, double-click the event message. In Event Detail, select the Words option above the Data box. On the command line, type net helpmsg [error code] , where data number is the number you see in the Data box.
