The resource management functions in the Cluster API allow callers to perform a wide variety of operations on one or more resources. For example, resource management functions enable callers to retrieve information about dependencies, to create and delete resources, and to initiate an operation defined with one of the many resource control codes.
The following functions manage resources in a cluster:
| Function | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AddClusterResourceDependency | Creates a dependency relationship between two resources. | |
| AddClusterResourceNode | Adds a node to the list of possible nodes that a resource can run on. | |
| CanResourceBeDependent | Determines if one resource can be dependent upon another resource. | |
| ChangeClusterResourceGroup | Moves a resource from one group to another. | |
| CloseClusterResource | Closes a resource by invalidating its handle, a handle returned from either OpenClusterResource or CreateClusterResource. | |
| ClusterResourceCloseEnum | Closes a resource enumerator object by invalidating its handle, a handle returned from ClusterResourceOpenEnum. | |
| ClusterResourceControl | Initiates an operation affecting a resource. | |
| ClusterResourceEnum | Enumerates a resource's dependent resources and/or nodes, returning the name of one object with each call. | |
| ClusterResourceOpenEnum | Opens an enumerator for iterating through a resource's dependencies and nodes. | |
| CreateClusterResource | Creates a resource in a cluster. | |
| DeleteClusterResource | Removes an offline resource from a cluster. | |
| FailClusterResource | Initiates a resource failure. | |
| GetClusterResourceState | Returns the current state of a resource. | |
| OfflineClusterResource | Takes an online resource offline. | |
| OnlineClusterResource | Takes an offline resource online. | |
| OpenClusterResource | Opens a resource and returns a handle to it. | |
| RemoveClusterResourceDependency | Removes a node from the list of nodes that can host a resource. | |
| RemoveClusterResourceNode | Removes a dependency relationship between two resources. | |
| SetClusterResourceName | Sets the name for a resource. | |
