I too am having this problem.

Here is the scenario:
3 physical node, 2 virtual serverExchange2003 SP2cluster.
4GB of RAM using the /3GB and /USERVA=3030 switches each.
Dell Poweredge Server swith 4 dual core hyperthreaded CPUs (yes it
looks like there are 16 to Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise edition).
Theclusterruns fine normally.
Antigen is installed forExchangescanning, and Symantec is installed
on the file system with all the proper file/folder exclusions for
Exchange.

We installedXOSoftWanSyncHA forExchangewhich replicates the
database to a remote siteExchangesystem. When we first intialized
replication, theHTTP virtual serverwould die with the error above,
and no other errors are logged. This would cause theclusterto fail
over, so I quickly changed the settings on theHTTP virtual serverto
not cause theclusterto fail over upon failure (temporarily).
I think failed the 2 servers, one at a time, to the stand by physical
node until all the physical nodes had been rebooted. We then resumed
replication and the system was fine for almost a week.
Then the dreadedHTTP virtual serverdeath returned any time we
initialized replication.

There are no other errors being logged. Nothing else in thecluster
has changed (like the IP or anything like that).
It seems to me that the WanSyncHA is placing a load on the system, or
causing some sort memory contention/exhaustion, that is causing the
HTTP Virtual Serverto die.XOSoftclaims they have not seen this
before (don't they all say that) and so we get no where with them.
Aside from debugging the HTTP service, does anyone have any
recommendations on how to deal with this?
Is it perhaps theclusterservice freaking out because of a delayed
response from the HTTP service and causing it to terminate
unecessarily?

Please help!
Thanks,

I assume you are using XOSoft to replicate your MSCSclusterto a
remote site for disaster recovery? If so, I suggest you remove XOSoft
and see if the problem still exists. If that fixes the problem, then
put XOSoft back on the systems and see if it breaks it again. If it
does, I would demand that XOSoft works with you to find a resolution
or look elsewhere for your DR solution.

If you still have the problem without XOSoft in the mix, open a case
with Microsoft.

I think we are addressing this from the wrong angle.

When I initiate a replication from the source server to the target
server, the HTTP Virtual Sever Cluster resource reports the error
above and dies. This HTTP Virtual Server ONLY dies if I initiate
replication. So it is directly tied into the replication.
It so happens I am using XOSoft to perform the replicaiton, but please
do not get hung up on that particular product as I don't think it is
doing anything more than a block file copy from Server A to Server B.

Please approach this problem from the aspect of why would the Cluster
service report ""The IsAlive check for this resource failed." for the
Exchange HTTP Virtual Server Instance?
It seems as if the replication is consuming some vital resource that
either the HTTP Virtual Server or the Cluster service is using/wants
to use.
Has anyone run into a memory configuration issue on an Exchange
cluster where a particular application has caused Cluster resources to
be considered non-responsive and therefore failed?

I am trying to get my customer and XOSoft to talk to each other,
however I wanted to simultaneously approach this from a server
configuration side and ask the clustering experts if any of this rings
a bell with a lack of free PTEs or anything like that.

Thanks!
