Above log shows that all the agents are having issue which is giving a different indication ..

1. Either HAD process is hung or unresponsive OR

2 System itself is unresponsive which means that HAD process is not getting enough resources to communicate to the agents & hence all agents are complaining..

I would suggest to run OS utilities like "Sar" "prstat" or "top" to find what is happening with system performance ..

There is an interprocess communication between the VCS agents and the had daemon. If this communication is disrupted (due to system load), the agent will fault, and had will restart the agent. Pls also reference to http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH155691

Do you have this issue with some agents or all agents? Does this issue happen on one node in the cluster or all nodes? Also, does this issue happen during certain times of the day - Like when a backup is running etc? These details would help in troubleshooting this issue.

As Gaurva said, it looks like performance issue on the system and none of the agents are communicating with HAD.

Have you tried to stop and start the agent? If you want, you can freeze  the SGs, you can manually stop and start the sevice and see how it works.

hagent -force -stop AgentName -sys Name

hagent -start AGENT-sys NodeName

 

I had similar issue for NIC Agent and stoped and start worked fine.
