Description

The Get-NlbClusterDriverInfo cmdlet gets information about the Network Load Balancing (NLB) driver on the local machine. This includes information about IP addresses, ports, convergence history, connections, extended affinity status, and protocols.

Examples

Example 1: Get information about the NLB driver configuration

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterDriverInfo
FullyQualifiedDomainName : cluster1.contoso.com 
ParametersVersion        : 6 
EffectiveNlbVersion      : 513 
HostId                   : 2 
ClusterName              : cluster1 
ClusterIPAddress         : 2001:4898:e8:3018:bd82:dde1:6615:7b0 
ClusterMacAddress        : 02-BF-FB-7E-A2-D1 
AliveMsgPeriod           : 1000 
MaxConnectionDescriptors : 262144 
IcmpFilteringEnabled     : False 
InitialHostState         : Started 
CurrentHostState         : Started 
PersistedHostStates      : True

This command gets information about the NLB driver configuration.

Example 2: Get the history of convergence for the local node

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterDriverInfo -ConvergenceHistory
Time                       FromState                  ToState 
----                       ---------                  ------- 
11/5/2008 10:55:27 PM      StablePhase2               Converged 
11/5/2008 10:55:26 PM      ConvergingPhase2           StablePhase2 
11/5/2008 10:55:26 PM      StablePhase1               ConvergingPhase2 
11/5/2008 10:55:20 PM      ConvergingPhase1           StablePhase1 
11/5/2008 10:55:17 PM      Unknown                    ConvergingPhase1

This command gets the history of convergence for the local node.

Example 3: Declare whether traffic in the given pattern is accepted on the local node

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterDriverInfo -Filter TCP -ServerIP 2.53.4.222 -ServerPort 5001 -ClientIP 2.53.4.5 -ClientPort 5001
Result 
------ 
ACCEPT_UNCONDITIONAL_OWNERSHIP

This command declares whether traffic in the given pattern is accepted on the local node or not.

Example 4: Enumerate the client IP addresses that are on the extended affinity list on the cluster node

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterDriverInfo -ExtendedAffinityList
IPAddress           References          VirtualIPAddress    StartPort 
---------           ----------          ----------------    --------- 
2.53.4.5            0                   All                 0 
2.53.4.6            0                   All                 0 
2.53.4.7            1                   All                 0

This command enumerates the client IP addresses that are on the extended affinity list on this cluster node. This applies to port rules that have extended affinity timeout enabled. The cmdlet also displays the number of active connections for each client.

Example 5: Enumerate the client IP addresses that are on the extended affinity exception list

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterDriverInfo -ExtendedAffinityExceptionList
IPAddress           HostId              VirtualIPAddress    StartPort 
---------           ------              ----------------    --------- 
2.53.4.6            2                   All                 0

This command enumerates the client IP addresses that are on the extended affinity exception list. This applies to port rules that have extended affinity timeout enabled. Traffic from clients on this list will be picked up by another cluster node that has the host ID listed.

Example 6: Enumerate all open connections on the cluster node

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterDriverInfo -OpenConnections
SourceIPAddress     SourcePort          DestinationIPAddres DestinationPorts

---------------     ----------          ------------------- --------------- 
2.53.4.5            64945               2.53.4.222          5001 
2.53.4.15           64854               2.53.4.222          80

This command enumerates all open connections on this cluster node. This is useful to run when the draining operation takes a long time and the administrator wants to know which connections are on the node.
