For example:

At occurrence of such error the network for some seconds disconnected.
How to correct this problem?

Remove PBX from cluster configuration

Symantec recommends not to configure PBX as a clustered resource.
http://support.veritas.com/docs/285594

That technote says 6.0MP4 will fix the problem, but well, why keep weeding when you can remove it's root.

PBX does not consume much resource, and there's no reason it needs to fail over - it can just stay running on both nodes, at all times, as a standalone instance.

So remove PBX from the cluster configuration, make it a standalone service running all times on both nodes.

In the services control panel it will show up as "VERITAS Private Branch Exchange" - make it startup as automatic, and keep it running.

PBX is not worth your headache/time.

Tnx!

Many thanks!
Can describe in more details how to remove PBX on cluster?
I understand - run cluster admin, select pbx-group-1 and take offline pbxmscs to offline. Next step - select pbx-group-2 and take offline pbxmscs.
What further?
Need remove on cluster admin pbx-clustergroup-node1 and pbx-clustergroup-node2??

Just delete them

It's in the technote - which is quoted again here.

1. It will be necessary to start the Cluster Manager. This can be done by going to Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Cluster administrator
2. In the console tree select the Resources folder
3. In the details pane, select the PBX resource
4. From the File menu select Delete
This will remove the PBX resource from the Cluster Manager. The PBX daemons will still be running on all nodes so this work around won't cause any connection issues.
