Hi,
I have some experience in implementing clusters i.e installing and
configuring etc and am fairly comfortable with that. However all the
documentation I can find relates to that initial "how to get it up and
running" scenario.
What I am looking for is some docs, white papers etc that explain in more
depth the mechanisms that clustering uses to maintain the cluster i.e what
info is maintained in what files and reg keys relating to cluster
configuration and activity, and especially troubleshooting cluster failures
e.g cluster service startup and quorum problem.
If anyone can point me in the direction of such info I would be greatly
appeciative.

Regard,

Gerry.

Thanks,
I have es against the msdn library but I still seem to end up with either
programming type info e.g system calls or more installation and config
stuff.

Here are several links that might be useful:
For descriptions of what happens "behind the scenes" in a cluster -- also,
there are some file lists at this link, for example, a list of log files,
although not much info about the registry:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/TechRef/4aa0be73-ef61-4f9c-a071-b390278b4773.mspx

For a list of WMI classes:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/TechRef/7e782055-450b-46dd-a0a4-164eebf2ae18.mspx

For information on troubleshooting the quorum resource:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/Operations/1f6ff06c-88dc-4a51-8d6e-2b5ea4bcb69e.mspx

For information on troubleshooting startup issues:

Hope that's useful,
Jan
