About Control Codes

The Failover Cluster API uses control codes to define cluster operations and cluster event notifications. The API has a large number of built in control codes, and also supports custom controls codes. A Control code is a 32-bit integer that defines a cluster operation or an event notification. The primary way to perform operations on clusters and respond to cluster events, is to pass a control code to a control code function. A control code function initiates an operation on a cluster or notifies a resource DLL of a cluster event.

There are two types of control codes:

  • External control codes, which define control code operations. Applications and resource DLLs can initiate cluster operations by using external control codes.
  • Internal control codes, which define cluster event notifications. The Cluster Service uses control codes to notify resource DLLs about cluster events that affect specific resources and resource types. A resource DLL can respond to those cluster events by supporting the control code of the event.
