Why do I get an undocumented value for MSBTS_HostInstance ClusterInstanceType?

Why do I get an undocumented value for MSBTS_HostInstance ClusterInstanceType?

I'm getting values of "3" for the ClusterInstanceType when I do a query of the BizTalk cluster ...

Get-CIMInstance -ClassName MSBTS_HostInstance -NameSpace root\MicrosoftBizTalkServer

According to the MSDN documentation, the expected values are ...

  • 0 - UnClusteredInstance
  • 1 - ClusteredInstance
  • 2 - ClusteredVirtualInstance

So what is the "3", and what does it mean?

Solution

  • According to this script here Error Attempting to Bounce Clustered Host, 3 is HostIsClusteredManager (cluster manager node)
