Hi Ajay, 

Sadly I don't get the logic.
Based  on your  e-mail you want to create a cluster  resource that will fail based on hardware issue.
Yet, are you going to put  other cluster resources as a dependency (for example  -> ordering constraint that stops some  application in case some cpu has  stuck for  '120s') ?

All the cluster  needs  is to know how to:
- Start the  resource
- Monitor  the liveliness  of the resource
- Stop the resource
