CLUSCTL_NODE_GET_CHARACTERISTICS control code
Retrieves the intrinsic characteristics of a node. Applications use this control code as a ClusterNodeControl parameter.
ClusterNodeControl(
hNode, // node handle
hHostNode, // optional host node
CLUSCTL_NODE_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 parameter is specific to this control code. For complete parameter descriptions, see ClusterNodeControl.
-
lpOutBuffer
-
On a successful return, contains a DWORD bitmask describing the node'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.
Return value
ClusterNodeControl returns one of the following values.
-
ERROR_SUCCESS
-
The operation completed successfully. This value is returned if the lpcbBytesReturned parameter points to the actual size of the returned data.
-
ERROR_MORE_DATA
-
More data is available. This value is returned if 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.
