MS NLB by NTCMD or UDA Adapter

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

MS NLB Cluster CIT

The CIT represents information regarding the NLB cluster.

CIT name: ms_nlb_cluster
Parent CIT name: loadbalancecluster

The Cluster IP address is a key field, as this is the most reliable way of discovering NLB. By comparison, discovering NLB through the Cluster network address is less reliable as it is dependent on the IP address and the operating mode—Unicast, Multicast, or IGMP. The Cluster domain name is retrieved for the Cluster name.

ConfigurationDocument (NLB Port Rule)

This CIT retrieves information about each port rule defined for NLB clusters.

Since the Port Rule entity cannot clearly define key attributes, the port rules properties are stored in the properties file (key=value pairs) as follows:

  portRule1.ServingIP=All
  portRule1.StartPort=0
  portRule1.EndPort=100
  portRule1.Protocol=Both
  portRule1.FilteringMode=Multiple
  portRule1.Affinity=Single
  portRule1.LoadWeight=40
