IP addresses should never depend on a physical disk. In fact, IP address
should not depend on anything, but that isn't likely causing the failure.

If you can, try to bring the IP address online. Immediately after it fails,
open the cluster.log in the %systemroot%\cluster folder. Search from the
bottom to the top for the friendly name of the IP address. You should see
the failure. Grab that information and some of the preceding and trailing
entries around the failure event and post in the newsgroup. We will try to
determine why the IP is failing.
