SYMPTOMS
In a Windows Server 2003-based cluster that has Veritas Volume Manager installed, the Resource Monitor process may crash. In this situation, the following information is logged in the Cluster log:

00000704.00001d48:: - ERR [RM] Exception. Code = 0xc0000005, Address =

00000704.00001d48:: - ERR [RM] Exception parameters: 1, d1e2ae8, 1003f, 0

00000704.00001d48:: - INFO [RM] GenerateMemoryDump: Start memory dump to file C:\WINDOWS\Cluster\resrcmon.dmp

Then, the cluster resources that run in the Resource Monitor process are automatically restarted.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Resource Monitor does not serialize calls that are made to a cluster resource. When the Resource Monitor schedules multiple requests at the same time to the Symantec Resource DLL (Vxres.dll), the Symantec Resource DLL may allocate a buffer space that is too small. Therefore, the Resource Monitor process crashes.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, contact Symantec for a resolution.
