Initializing the Node

The following entries represent initialization of the local node.

378.32c::1999/06/09-18:00:18.874 Cluster Service started - Cluster Node

  Version 3.2051

378.32c::1999/06/09-18:00:18.874                           OS Version 

  5.0.2051


Note that the preceding entries include, with the time the Cluster service started, the version number of the Cluster service and of the node's operating system.

378.380::1999/06/09-18:00:19.226 [DM]: Loading cluster database from 

  C:\WINNT\cluster\CLUSDB


In the preceding entry, the Database Manager loads the cluster database into the local registry. Later, the Database Manager updates the cluster's registry data with any cluster database checkpoints or quorum log change records that are more recent than the version of the cluster database that it just loaded into the cluster registry key.

The last two, preceding entries identify the node the name and ID of the node whose activity this log tracks. This identity is important for tracking interactions in the various nodes' cluster logs.
