Cluster resource does not start automatically

Question

Hello,
I have a strange issue. last saterday i replaced the motherboards of three HP DL380G6 servers, there is an HW issue with the production date of this hardware.
After change of the HW, the cluster resources does not start automatically, when booting the servers. The resources come in state 'offline'(except the master IP resource). When start manually, the cluster resources works fine. I checked the eDirectory , and changed also the startup parameter of the cluster (autostart-manually-autostart) but with no results.
When i create a new (simple) CL-resource, i have the same issue with this resource. Only the master ip CL-resource starts automatically??
Does anyone have an answer for this problem....
Thanks in advanced

Please check the attribute "NCS:CRM Failover Mode" of the resource object in eDir. If its value is an odd number, it means the resource will load automatically. If it's not, add 1 to the number and save the new value.
Then, you need to check file "/var/opt/novell/ncs/resources.xml". Find the section for the resource, and check "nCSCRMFailoverMode" to make sure it matches what you have in eDir. If not, please run command "/opt/novell/ncs/bin/ncs-configd.py -init" to try to update it.
If the problem persists after all the above, please contact NTS. We will have it resolved.
