ArcSDE Services cannot be started using HA Cluster application

Hello:

I have two servers for High Availability using Microsoft Failover Cluster Management in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition. ArcGIS Server components were installed and correctly authorized on both servers, also the ArcSDE services were installed and authorized.
In order to have GIS Services for WFS in High Availability an ArcSDE service called "esri_sde" was created on both servers and was added as a resource in a Cluster application called "ArcGISServer",
If the Active server is running correctly the "esri_sde" service is running on it, if the active server fails the Cluster Application switches to the passive server and should start the "esri_sde" service in the passive server.

ISSUE
When the Cluster application which contains the "esri_sde" service is switched to the passive server and vicebersa, the "esri_sde" service cannot be started by the Cluster application.

The "esri_sde" service can be started on each server correctly and without any problem, the issue is when the request to start the "esri_sde" service comes from the Cluster application.

Note: Also we have an "ArcGIS Server Manager" service installed on each server, which is also contained in the ArcGISServer Cluster application, this service is started correctly by the Cluster application, so this is the strange thing, the "ArcGIS Server Manager" can be started from the Cluster application but not the ArcSDE services.

Any ideas?, maybe an additional script or parameter is not considered, I've been searching for help in forums but this topic about ESRI GIS Services in HA is not common.
