Hi all

I've got a sql 2005 active/passive cluster on win2k3 servers.

In cluster admin under sql server 2005 group resources i've got:

3 physical disks

IP Address - ip address of mycluster server

Network Name - mycluster-depends on Ip address

SQL Server  - sql server - depends on 3 physical disks, network name and ip
address.

SQL Server Agent - SQL agent - depends on SQL Server

SQL Full-Text - also depends on sql server

All my dependencies and resources are correct.

so when i try to bring online the sql server it says failed under state.

I try to start the sql server from config manager it doesn't start. give me
an error:

"The request failed or service did not respond in timely fashion. consult
event log"

I go into the Event Viewer under application i see this error:

Event Type: Error
