| Description | Cluster generic script resource MyScript: Request to perform the Online operation will not be processed. This is because of a previous failed attempt to execute the Online entry point in a timely fashion. Please review the script code for this entry point to make sure there is no infinite loop or a hang in it, and then consider increasing the resource pending timeout value if necessary. In a command shell, run "cluster res "MyScript" /pro PersistentState=0" to disable this resource, and then run "net stop clussvc" to stop the cluster service. Ensure that any problem in the script code is fixed. Then run "net start clussvc" to start the cluster service. If necessary, ensure that the pending time out is increased before bringing the resource online again. |
| Event Information | CAUSE: A Generic Script resource script can cause the whole cluster to stop responding or become unresponsive if any of the following conditions exist: A. The Generic Script resource script contains an infinite loop (and therefore never exits). B. Calls to certain cluster application programming interfaces (APIs) are occurring. Calls to certain cluster APIs must be avoided from within a resource DLL or resource script because they can cause a cluster-wide deadlock. This script may be calling cluster APIs or starting Cluster.exe (which may result in calling cluster APIs that must be avoided) as one of the steps. For information about APIs that should not be called from a resource DLL or script, see “Function Calls to Avoid in Resource DLLs” in the Microsoft Platform SDK (PSDK). C. An action the Generic Script resource script is performing takes longer than the pending timeout value. To avoid an infinite hang situation, the Cluster Resource Monitor refuses to perform any operations (such as Online, Offline, IsAlive, and LooksAlive) on the script after any operation has exceeded the pending timeout value. Any additional attempts to perform Generic Script resource operations on that resource will result in the second event log message that is shown in the "Symptoms" section of this article. RESOLUTION: The Cluster Resource Monitor will not perform any additional operations on a Generic Script resource after any entry point has exceeded the pending timeout value, but the problematic thread will continue to run. To resolve the problem, disable the resource (that is, prevent it from coming online), stop the Cluster service (this terminates the problematic thread), fix the script problem, and then restart the Cluster service. Depending on the cause of this problem, you may want to increase the online or offline pending timeout value for this resource. For step-by-step instructions, see the |
