Failover Cluster Reference
This section describes the programming elements that developers can use to create applications and resources that access, manage, and monitor failover clusters.
In this section
-
Describes the programming elements of the Failover Cluster API, which you can use for these tasks:
- Define software and hardware component types to manage on a failover cluster.
- Run clustering tasks that increase the scalability and availability of the application.
- Monitor and control failover clusters.
-
Describes the programming elements of the Cluster Automation Server, which allows web applications to monitor and administer failover clusters remotely through scripting languages.
-
Describes the WMI provider and APIs that you can use to create plug-ins for the Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) tool. CAU automates the software updating process on clustered servers while maintaining availability.
