fn_virtualservernodes (Transact-SQL)
Returns a list of failover clustered instance nodes on which an instance of SQL Server can run. This information is useful in failover clustering environments.
Important
This Microsoft SQL Server 2000 system function is included for backward compatibility. We recommend that you use sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes instead.
Syntax
fn_virtualservernodes()
Tables Returned

If the current server instance is not a clustered server, fn_virtualservernodes returns an empty rowset.
Permissions
The user must have VIEW SERVER STATE permission for the instance of SQL Server.
