| Event Information | According to Microsoft :
Cause :
This event is logged when Health check for IP interface failed.
Resolution :
Check network adapter
The health check for an IP interface failed. If you do not currently have Event Viewer open, see "Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering." After reviewing event messages, choose actions that apply to your situation: - Check to see if other IP Address resources on the same network failed; this would indicate failure of the network adapter. If necessary, replace the adapter.
- Check to make sure the proper adapter driver is loaded for the device and check for newer versions of the driver.
- For a given IP Address resource, make sure that NetBIOS is enabled only if you need it to be enabled.
- As a further check, you can run the Network tests in the Validate a Configuration Wizard.
To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server, and the account you use must be a domain account, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.
