3.1.4.3.3.8 CLUSCTL_GROUP_GET_COMMON_PROPERTIES

The CLUSCTL_GROUP_GET_COMMON_PROPERTIES group control code retrieves the common properties (section 3.1.1.9) of the designated group.

The common properties of a group are the part of the group's non-volatile configuration data that is maintained in the cluster state and whose schema is defined by the server.

After successful completion of this method, the server MUST write a PROPERTY_LIST structure (section 2.2.3.10) to the buffer that is designated by lpOutBuffer. This PROPERTY_LIST structure MUST contain one or more names and values of the writable common properties for the designated group. If the lpOutBuffer buffer is not large enough to accommodate the string, error 0x000000EA (ERROR_MORE_DATA) MUST be returned.

The server SHOULD accept a CLUSCTL_GROUP_GET_COMMON_PROPERTIES group control code request if its protocol server state is read-only and MUST accept the request for processing if it is in the read/write state, as specified in section 3.1.1.
