Failover Cluster Provider Reference

The WMI provider for failover clusters (defined in ClusWmi.mof) allows you to manage failover clusters through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). This documentation assumes you are familiar with the concept of WMI and have experience writing WMI scripts and applications.

The failover cluster provider defines the following classes.

Class	Description
MSCluster_AvailableDisk	Represents an available disk.
MSCluster_Cluster	Represents a cluster.
MSCluster_ClusterSharedVolume	Represents a cluster shared volume (CSV).
MSCluster_ClusterToAvailableDisk	Represents a list of the available disks contained in a cluster.
MSCluster_ClusterToNetwork	Represents the networks contained in a cluster.
MSCluster_ClusterToNetworkInterface	Represents the network interfaces contained in a cluster.
MSCluster_ClusterToNode	Represents the nodes contained in a cluster.
MSCluster_ClusterToQuorumResource	Represents the quorum resource of a cluster.
MSCluster_ClusterToResource	Represents the resources contained in a cluster.
MSCluster_ClusterToResourceGroup	Represents the groups contained in a cluster.
MSCluster_ClusterToResourceType	Represents the resource types contained in a cluster.
MSCluster_Disk	Represents a disk.
MSCluster_DiskPartition	TBD
MSCluster_DiskToDiskPartition	Represents a list of the disk partitions on a disk.
MSCluster_Event	Base class representing cluster events.
MSCluster_EventClusterCallback	TBD
MSCluster_EventGroupStateChange	Represents a group state change event.
MSCluster_EventObjectAdd	Represents an add object event.
MSCluster_EventObjectRemove	Represents a remove object event.
MSCluster_EventPropertyChange	Represents a property change event.
MSCluster_EventRegistryChange	TBD
MSCluster_EventResourceStateChange	Represents a resource state change event.
MSCluster_EventStateChange	Represents a state change event.
MSCluster_LogicalElement	Provides the Flags and Characteristics properties for derived classes.
MSCluster_Network	Represents networks.
MSCluster_NetworkInterface	Represents a network interface.
MSCluster_NetworkToNetworkInterface	Represents the network interfaces connected to a network.
MSCluster_Node	Represents a cluster node.
MSCluster_NodeToActiveGroup	Represents the groups owned by a node.
MSCluster_NodeToActiveResource	Represents the resources owned by a node.
MSCluster_NodeToHostedService	Represents a service hosted by the cluster .
MSCluster_NodeToNetworkInterface	Represents the network interfaces connected to a node.
MSCluster_Property	Superclass for properties of cluster objects.
MSCluster_Resource	Represents a cluster resource.
MSCluster_ResourceGroup	Represents a cluster group.
MSCluster_ResourceGroupToPreferredNode	Represents a list of the resource groups and their preferred nodes list.
MSCluster_ResourceGroupToResource	Represents the resources in a group.
MSCluster_ResourceToDependentResource	Represents the dependencies of a resource.
MSCluster_ResourceToDisk	Associates an instance of the MSCluster_Resource class representing a disk resource to an instance of the MSCluster_Disk class
MSCluster_ResourceToPossibleOwner	Represents a list of the resources and their possible owner nodes.
MSCluster_ResourceType	Represents a cluster resource type.
MSCluster_ResourceTypeToResource	Represents resources of a particular type.
MSCluster_Service	Represents the Cluster service.

The Cluster Automation Server (MSCLUS) also defines a scripting interface for failover clusters. However, it is recommended that you use the WMI provider for scripting and that you regard MSCLUS as an obsolete interface.
