Measures reported by FCCluNodeTest

The independent Windows systems that are grouped in a cluster and that work together as a unified computing resource are known as nodes. In a fail-over cluster typically, the cluster nodes are connected by physical cables and by software. If one of the nodes fails, another node begins to provide service through a process known as failover. As long as users have continuous access to the cluster resources, they will not care which cluster node is currently active and is serving their requests. Administrators on the other hand, may want to know which node in the cluster is active, and why certain nodes have gone down. To determine the same, administrators can run the FCCluNodeTest test.

This test reports the current status of each node in every cluster that has been configured on the server, and thus points administrators to those cluster nodes that are currently down or whose operations have been paused.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
