determining active node on clustered servers
-
hi.. how can i determine the active node on a clustered server on a vb.net project? each cluster has 2 nodes for example: server1a server1b server2a server2b server3a server3b and the active nodes are server1a, server2a, server3b i'm trying to develop a project that will list just the active nodes .. any idea would be greatly appreciated. msn: cute_leny@hotmail.com

Are we talking about a Microsoft cluster, Novell, Linux, ...? For a Microsoft cluster, the easiest way is to use the Cluster Automation objects. You can start by reading the documentation on them here[^]. Microsoft clusters also don't have an "active" node. Nodes are either up and available or down for some failure or administratively down. You can find out which nodes are "available" and which are "down". RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Hi there.. I’ve seen the link on the documentation of server cluster API’s from msdn but it seems that it was just applicable for windows server 2003 and codes for C++. We only have windows 2000 advanced server. I’m developing remotely from the servers and I really have no idea how to access and manipulate these APIs using asp/vb.net.. Can you give me an idea how to do this in asp/vb.net? I’m really a newbie with this technology.. hope you can help me.. thanks.. more power..

The API calls work on any Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Datacenter or Advanced Servers, or NT4 Enterprise SP# or better. I think your looking at the WMI objects. Those are Windows Server 2003 only. You can call the cluster API's from VB.NET just as you can call any of the Win32 API functions. There is very little information on using the Cluster API's in VB/VB.NET, so it's definately going to be a research project, trial-and-error kind of thing. There is no known example code either.
