SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to delete a resource by using the Cluster Administrator tool while the resource is still online, Cluster Administrator attempts to take the resource offline and the following error message may be displayed:

System error 997 has occurred.

Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.



CAUSE
The error message is misleading. Cluster Administrator cannot delete a resource until you take it offline.



RESOLUTION
Take the resource offline and then delete it.
