3/17/01 JosephJ Stuff to do
    1. Define interfaces for async error reporting.

0. Make ConfigureAndBind take an out parameter which is a generation number.

Sequence of steps:
1. Check for connectivity using ping
2. Do WMI operation
3. Verify result


1 hour: review code, make notes.
Operation: Connect To Existing
    LeftView::OnWorldConnect 
         ClusterConnectPage::ClusterConnectPage
            CommonNLB::connectToClusterIndirect
                MNLBMachine::getClusterProperties
                    MwmiObject::getSpecificInstance
                        WMI core APIs


List of classes

LeftView.h (exe):class LeftView : public CTreeView, public DataSinkI
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::LeftView()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::~LeftView()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::GetDocument()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnInitialUpdate()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnRButtonDown( UINT nFlags, CPoint point )
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnWorldConnect()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnWorldNewCluster()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnClusterProperties()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnClusterManageVIPS()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnHostProperties()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnClusterRemove()

LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnClusterAddHost()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnHostRemove()
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnClusterControl( UINT nID )
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnClusterPortControl( UINT nID )
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnHostControl( UINT nID )
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnHostPortControl( UINT nID )
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::dataSink( _bstr_t data )
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::OnSelchanged(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) 
LeftView.cpp (exe):LeftView::doesClusterExistInView( const _bstr_t& clusterToCheck )


Things should be greatly simplified:

UtilityFunctions:
    PingHost

HostInformation:
    Host.GetHostInformation(HostInfo)
            Machine name, dns name
            List of NICs and IPs bound to them

Configuration operations:
    Host.GetClusterConfiguration(NIC-Guid, &Config)
    Host.SetClusterConfiguration(NIC-Guid, Params, &RequestId) --> Async return
    Host.GetAsyncResult(RequestId, &ResultCode, &ResultStrings);

Management operations:
    Host.GetClusterState(NIC-Guid, &ClusterState)
    Host.SetClusterState(NIC-Guid, ClusterState)

Command-line arguments:
do -host: -nic: -config: -cmd:

To Do:
1. Host.Host("connection information");
2. Host.Ping();
3. Host.Connect();
3. Host.Disconnect();
4. Host.GetHostInfo
4. Host.Get/SetClusterConfiguration()

Search MSDN for "Idle Loop Processing" -- there is code there for
adding MFC-compatible message processing while doing blocking operations.

JosephJ 3/24/01  using namespace std, vectors.

To use the <vector> template as is you need the statement:
        using namespace std;
