Status of the cluster: Normal (the cluster condition is functioning normally, every

Status
condition is degraded if at least one node condition is failed or degraded or
at least one resource condition is degraded), Failed (the cluster condition is
failed if every node condition is failed or at least one resource condition is
failed), and Other (the cluster condition cannot be determined and every node
condition and resource condition is undetermined)
Name or alias for the clusterName

Status

Status
Other (the network state indicates that an error has occurred and the exact
state of the network could not be determined or the network state is unavailable)
The subnet mask associated with the network within the clusterMask
State of a particular network in the cluster: Offline (not operational), Partitioned
