Are you getting any errors or warnings from something other than theFoundation Agents? It has been a while since I've used HP Insight agents, so I don't know exactly what they are looking at to determine the status of a cluster resource. Joseph Durnal

Few other errors are Event Type:ErrorEvent Source:ClusSvcEvent Category:Failover Mgr Event ID:1069Date:12/1/2008Time:6:27:33 PMUser:N/AComputer:XYZ02Description:Cluster resource 'resource name' in Resource Group 'ResourceClusterGroup-XYZ02' failed. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Event Type:ErrorEvent Source:ClusSvcEvent Category:Failover Mgr Event ID:1069Date:12/1/2008Time:6:24:53 PMUser:N/AComputer:xyz02Description:Cluster resource'Resource name'in Resource Group 'Resource-ClusterGroup-xyz02' failed. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

For warning 1167: Symptom: "This trap will be sent any time the condition of a cluster resource becomes degraded User Action: Make a note of the cluster resource name then check the resource for the cause of the degraded condition ------------ Microsoft Windows Event ID and SNMP Traps Reference Guide It seems a pure cluster issue for cluster resource SMTP Virtual Server, please check the problematic cluster resource and its cluster group to see if all settings are configured properly I suggest you use the windows server clustering forum for getting the resolution more efficiently

Thanks Jemes I am getting the above errorrendomly for any resources like SMTP, IMAP, HTTP etc.... As suggested I generated the query in windows server clusteringforum. Once again thanks for yourvaluable guidance....
