SUMMARY

In Microsoft Cluster Server, you can turn Cluster Logging on as a way of troubleshooting problems with the clustering software.

MORE INFORMATION

To enable Cluster Logging, there are two variables you need to place in the Windows NT environment variable list. These variables are ClusterLog and ClusterLogLevel.

To enter System environment variables, perform these steps:

  1. In the System tool in Control Panel, click the Environment tab.

  2. Type ClusterLog in the Variable box, type <path>\cluster.log in the Value box, and then click Set.

    NOTE: <path> is the drive and folder you manually create to store the Cluster Server log file. For example, C:\Cluster.

  3. Type ClusterLogLevel in the Variable box, type 0, 1, 2, or 3 in the Value box, and then click Set.

    NOTE: 0=no logging, 1=Errors only, 2=Errors and Warnings, and 3=Everything that happens.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Shut down and restart your computer for Cluster Server to read the variables correctly.

You can type SET at the command prompt to verify that you entered the variables correctly after you have restarted the computer.

NOTE: You also have the ability to enter User Variables in the Environment dialog box.
