CLUSCTL_NETWORK_GET_CHARACTERISTICS control code
Retrieves the intrinsic characteristics of a network. Applications use this control code as a ClusterNetworkControl parameter.
ClusterNetworkControl(
hNetwork, // network handle
hHostNode, // optional host node
CLUSCTL_NETWORK_GET_CHARACTERISTICS, // this control code
NULL, // input buffer (not used)
0, // input buffer size (not used)
lpOutBuffer, // output buffer: DWORD bitmask
cbOutBufferSize, // allocated buffer size (bytes)
lpcbBytesReturned ); // actual size of resulting data (bytes)
Parameters
The following control code function parameters are specific to this control code. For complete parameter descriptions, see ClusterNetworkControl.
-
hNetwork
-
Network handle.
-
hHostNode
-
Optional node handle. Can be NULL.
-
lpOutBuffer
-
On a successful return, contains a DWORD bitmask describing the network's characteristics enumerated from the CLUS_CHARACTERISTICS enumeration. Only one bitmask is currently defined.
-
CLUS_CHAR_UNKNOWN (0x00000000)
-
The Network Interface has no known characteristics.
-
CLUS_CHAR_DELETE_REQUIRES_ALL_NODES (0x00000002)
-
Resources of this type cannot be deleted unless all nodes are active.
-
CLUS_CHAR_REQUIRES_STATE_CHANGE_REASON (0x00000010)
-
The resource DLL will receive the CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_STATE_CHANGE_REASON control code.
-
CLUS_CHAR_SINGLE_CLUSTER_INSTANCE (0x00000040)
-
Only one instance of this resource type is allowed in a cluster.
-
CLUS_CHAR_SINGLE_GROUP_INSTANCE (0x00000080)
-
Only one instance of this resource type is allowed in a group.
lpOutBufferSize
Allocated size (in bytes) of the output buffer.
lpcbBytesReturned
Returns the actual size (in bytes) of the data resulting from the operation.
Return value
ClusterNetworkControl returns one of the following values.
-
ERROR_SUCCESS
-
The operation was successful. The lpcbBytesReturned parameter points to the actual size of the returned data.
-
ERROR_MORE_DATA
-
The output buffer pointed to by lpOutBuffer was not large enough to hold the data resulting from the operation. The lpcbBytesReturned parameter points to the size required for the output buffer.
-
If any other value is returned, the operation failed. The value of lpcbBytesReturned is unreliable.
