Event ID 1230

Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
Date: 4/12/2014 10:00:43 PM
Event ID: 1230
Task Category: Resource Control Manager
Level: Error
Keywords:     
User: SYSTEM
Computer: ConputerName.domain.local
Description:
A component on the server did not respond in a timely fashion. This caused the cluster resource 'ResourceName' (resource type 'Virtual Machine', DLL 'vmclusres.dll') to exceed its time-out threshold. As part of cluster health detection, recovery actions will be taken. The cluster will try to automatically recover by terminating and restarting the Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process that is running this resource. Verify that the underlying infrastructure (such as storage, networking, or services) that are associated with the resource are functioning correctly.
