CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_TYPE_GET_CHARACTERISTICS control code
Retrieves the intrinsic characteristics of a resource type. Applications use this control code as a ClusterResourceTypeControl parameter, and resource DLLs receive the control code as a parameter to the ResourceTypeControl function.
ClusterResourceTypeControl(
hCluster, // cluster handle
lpszResTypeName, // resource type name
hHostNode, // optional host node
CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_TYPE_GET_CHARACTERISTICS, // this control code
NULL, // input buffer (not used)
0, // input buffer size (not used)
lpOutBuffer, // output buffer: DWORD bitmask
cbOutBufferSize, // allocated buffer size (bytes)
lpcbBytesReturned ); // actual size of resulting data (bytes)
Parameters
The following control code function and DLL support parameters are specific to this control code. For complete parameter descriptions, see ClusterResourceTypeControl or ResourceTypeControl.
-
lpOutBuffer
-
On a successful return, contains a DWORD bitmask describing the resource type's characteristics as one of the following values enumerated from the CLUS_CHARACTERISTICS enumeration.
-
CLUS_CHAR_UNKNOWN (0x00000000)
-
Resources of this type have no known characteristics.
-
CLUS_CHAR_QUORUM (0x00000001)
-
Resources of this type are capable of being the quorum resource type for a cluster.
-
CLUS_CHAR_DELETE_REQUIRES_ALL_NODES (0x00000002)
-
Resources of this type cannot be deleted unless all nodes are active.
-
CLUS_CHAR_SINGLE_CLUSTER_INSTANCE (0x00000040)
-
Only one instance of this resource type is allowed in a cluster.
-
CLUS_CHAR_SINGLE_GROUP_INSTANCE (0x00000080)
-
Only one instance of this resource type is allowed in a group.
Return value
ClusterResourceTypeControl returns one of the following values.
-
ERROR_SUCCESS
-
The operation was successful. The lpcbBytesReturned parameter points to the actual size of the returned data.
-
ERROR_MORE_DATA
-
The output buffer pointed to by lpOutBuffer was not large enough to hold the data resulting from the operation. The lpcbBytesReturned parameter points to the size required for the output buffer.
-
The operation failed. The value of lpcbBytesReturned is unreliable.
Remarks
ClusAPI.h defines the 32 bits of CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_TYPE_GET_CHARACTERISTICS as follows (for more information, see Control Code Architecture).
Component | Bit location | Value |
---|---|---|
Object code | 24 31 | CLUS_OBJECT_RESOURCE_TYPE (0x2) |
Global bit | 23 | CLUS_NOT_GLOBAL (0x0) |
Modify bit | 22 | CLUS_NO_MODIFY (0x0) |
User bit | 21 | CLCTL_CLUSTER_BASE (0x0) |
Type bit | 20 | External (0x0) |
Operation code | 0 23 | CLCTL_GET_CHARACTERISTICS (0x5) |
Access code | 0 1 | CLUS_ACCESS_READ (0x1) |
Resource DLL Support
Optional. If you do not support the control code, return ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION to let the Resource Monitor read the Characteristics value from the resource type key in the cluster database.
If you do support CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_TYPE_GET_CHARACTERISTICS, return a value that accurately describes the resources supported by the resource type. For more information, see CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_GET_CHARACTERISTICS.
For more information on the ResourceTypeControl entry point function, see Implementing ResourceTypeControl.
