Setting node properties

Using the node Properties dialog box, you can:

• View the node object name.
• View or change the node description.
• View the node's state. A node's state can be:

  Down. The node is not actively participating in cluster operations.

  Joining. The node is in the process of becoming an active participant in the cluster operations.

  Paused. The node is actively participating in cluster operations but cannot take ownership of resource groups and cannot bring resources online.

  Unknown. The state could not be determined.

  Up. The node is actively participating in all cluster operations.

• View the version and build number of the Cluster service.

Do not update the properties of a cluster object on multiple nodes simultaneously. For more information on multiple and simultaneous property updates, see the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).
