3.1.3 Initialization

When FRS is started on a new machine for the first time, the IDTable MUST be empty. If IDTable is not empty, FRS MUST assume the records in the IDTable are valid and this is not the first start of FRS on a new machine for the first time. FRS MUST poll Active Directory periodically to discover new Replica Sets that the local machine is a member of. When a new replica set is discovered, FRS MUST scan the replica tree root to fill the IDTable.

FRS must initialize the OutlogChangeHistoryTime ADM element to an implementation specific value.<39>

The FRSStaticPort ADM element MUST be initialized to 0. If the server uses static port for the replication, the server MUST update this value to an implementation-specific port number.<40>
