Windows NT Load Balancing Service Convergence Event Log Appears As Comma-Delimited or Binary List

ID: Q198601

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
Windows NT Load Balancing Service

SUMMARY

In larger clusters (16 or more computers), the list of hosts in convergence event log messages changes from a comma-delimited list of host IDs to a binary representation of cluster membership.

MORE INFORMATION

The binary representation appears as in the following example:

WLBS : host 1 converged with host(s) 11111110111111111111100000000000 as part of the cluster.

In smaller clusters (fewer than 16 computers), the list of hosts appears in comma-delimited format, as in this example:

WLBS : host 1 converged as DEFAULT host with host(s) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 as part of the cluster.

Please note that Windows NT Load Balancing Service (WLBS) Cluster Software does not report converged events that list more than 16 hosts.
