Set this value in the Policies tab of the

Cluster Management.
HP XP Cluster Extension requirements for service or application properties are described in “Service
or application properties and values” (page 24). If no specific value is required, the default value
is listed. Set these values in the Failover tab of the service or application properties window
(Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2) or in the CLI. For more information about
setting service or application properties, see your Microsoft documentation.
TIP: To change the properties in “Service or application properties and values” (page 24) with
the CLI, use the following command: cluster group groupname /prop
propertyname="propertyvalue".
Powershell Cmdlets can also be used instead of cluster.exe. Use the following command:
Get-ClusterResource "Resource_name" | Set-ClusterParameter -Name
"property_name" -Value "vale_to_set"
For more information, see Microsoft documentation.

timeout value is reached.
