Cluster Node

The basic cluster node syntax is:

cluster [[/cluster:]cluster name] node node name /option

The cluster name is optional. If no node name and no options are specified, the default option is /status.

If the name of your cluster is also a cluster command or its abbreviation, such as node, use /cluster: to explicitly specify the cluster name. For a list of all the cluster commands, see Related Topics.

The following table describes the available cluster node options:

Option

Use to...

/status

Display the cluster node status (Up, Down, or Paused). The node name is optional. The status of all nodes is displayed if you do not provide a node name.

/pause

Pause a node.

/resume

Resume a paused node.

/evict

Evict a node from a cluster.

/listinterfaces

List the node's network interfaces.

/properties [property list]

View or set the node common properties. The node name is optional. If you do not specify a node name, properties for all nodes are displayed. For more information on property lists, see Property lists.

/privproperties [property list]

View or set the node private properties. The node name is optional. If you do not provide a node name, private properties for all nodes are displayed . For more information on property lists, see Property lists.

/? or /help

Display cluster node syntax.

For example, to display the status of a node named OpsNode1, type the following at the Windows 2000 command prompt:

cluster node opsnode1 /status

Cluster node common property names

The following table describes the common cluster node property names, their uses, and valid settings:

Common property names

Description

Describes a node.

EventEnableLogReplication

Specifies if Event Log Replication is enabled or disabled on a node. (True (1) means enabled; False (0) means disabled.) If the cluster Event Log Replication is disabled, Event Log Replication on a node is disabled, regardless of property setting.

Cluster node private property name

By default, there are no private properties for cluster node. Software vendors can add private properties to extend cluster functionality.
