PersistentState
Specifies whether a group should be automatically brought online when the cluster forms. The following table summarizes the attributes of the PersistentState property.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Data type | DWORD |
| Access | Read/write |
| Structure | CLUSPROP_DWORD |
| Minimum | FALSE (0) |
| Maximum | TRUE (1) |
| Default | FALSE |
Remarks
Set PersistentState to TRUE (1) for any group that should be automatically brought online when the cluster forms (for information on the form/join process, see Nodes). The default value is FALSE (0) which means that the group is left offline when the cluster forms.
Resources use their group's PersistentState property when they lack a value for their own PersistentState property.
Examples
The property value portion of a property list entry for PersistentState can be set with the following example code.
DWORD PersistentStateData = FALSE;
CLUSPROP_DWORD PersistentStateValue;
PersistentStateValue.Syntax.dw = CLUSPROP_SYNTAX_LIST_VALUE_DWORD;
PersistentStateValue.cbLength = sizeof(DWORD);
PersistentStateValue.dw = PersistentStateData;
