Cluster objects are the physical and logical units managed by failover clusters. Each object is associated with:
- One or more properties, or attributes, that define the object and its behavior within the cluster.
- A set of control codes used to manipulate the object's properties.
- A set of object management functions used to manage the object through the Cluster service.
The following table summarizes the cluster objects.
