MSCluster_LogicalElement class

A superclass for cluster objects that provide the Flags and Characteristics properties.

The following syntax is simplified from MOF code and includes all inherited properties.

Syntax

[Abstract, UUID("{9EB9A2F9-0751-4dcf-AB59-F8341D0F60B2}"), AMENDMENT]
class MSCluster_LogicalElement : CIM_LogicalElement
{

  string   Description;
  datetime InstallDate;
  string   Name;
  string   Status;
  uint32   Flags;
  uint32   Characteristics;
};

Members

The MSCluster_LogicalElement class has these types of members:

• Properties

Properties

The MSCluster_LogicalElement class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

The Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Characteristics

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Provides the characteristics of the object. The cluster defines characteristics only for resources. For a description of these characteristics, see CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_GET_CHARACTERISTICS.

**Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008: **

This property is read/write before Windows Server 2012.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

The Description property provides a textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Flags

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Provides access to the flags set for the object. The cluster defines flags only for resources. For a description of these flags, see CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_GET_FLAGS.

**Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008: **

This property is read/write before Windows Server 2012.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5")

A datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (256)

The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Status

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (10)

A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. Operational statuses are "OK", "Degraded", "Stressed" and "Pred Fail". "Stressed" indicates that the Element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, etc. The condition "Pred Fail" (failure predicted) indicates that an Element is functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are "Error", "NonRecover", "Starting", "Stopping" and "Service". "NonRecover" indicates that a non-recoverable error has occurred. "Service" describes an Element being configured, maintained or cleaned, or otherwise administered. This status could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative task. Not all such work is on-line, yet the Element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
