Cluster Diagnostics and Verification Tool (ClusDiag.exe)

Cluster Diagnostics and Verification Tool (ClusDiag) is a graphical tool that performs basic verification and configuration analysis checks on a pre-production server cluster and creates log files to help system administrators identify configuration issues prior to deployment in a production environment. ClusDiag can capture all relevant log files and event logs from each node of a server cluster and merge them into a single file for easy analysis and troubleshooting. Administrators can analyze these log files with built-in filtering, merging, and bookmarking functionality and generate various diagnostics reports. ClusDiag can also create text-based and graphical reports of cluster disk and network configurations as well as generate a graphical view of the cluster resource dependency tree. This update addresses the following issues: Added Windows 2000 cluster support Improved performance of log viewing Merged logs into a single file for easier troubleshooting Added test for cluster verification
