System and method for a multi-node environment with shared storage
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for a multi-node environment comprising:
- a first node associated with a first operating system;
a second node associated with a second operating system, wherein the second operating system is independent of the first operating system;
a storage; and
an interconnect coupling the first node with the storage and coupling the second node with the storage; and
wherein the first node directly accesses the storage and the second node directly accesses the storage.

9. A system for a multi-node environment comprising:
-
a first node associated with a membership group, wherein the first node is associated with a first operating system;
a second node associated with the membership group, wherein the second node is associated with a second operating system, and wherein the second operating system is independent of the first operating system; and
storage coupled with the first and second nodes, the storage being directly accessible by the first node and the second node; and
and wherein the first node is configured to determine whether the membership group has changed. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A method for managing a multi-node environment comprising:
-
associating a first node with a membership group, wherein the first node is associated with a first operating system, and wherein the first node directly accesses a storage;
associating a second node with the membership group, wherein the second node is associated with a second operating system, and wherein the second operating system is independent of the first operating system, and wherein the second node directly accesses the storage;
determining whether the membership group has changed; and
dynamically adjusting to the change in the membership group. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for a first node configured to be associated with a multi-node environment comprising:
-
a processor configured to be associated with a first operating system, wherein the first operating system is independent of a second operating system of a second node;
the processor also configured to be capable of determining whether a membership group has changed, wherein the membership group is associated with the first node and the second node; and
also configured to be capable of dynamically adjusting to the change in the membership group; and
a storage coupled to the processor, wherein the storage is configured to be directly accessed by the processor and also configured to be directly accessed by the second node.

19. A computer program product for a first node configured to be associated with a multi-node environment, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
-
determining whether a membership group has changed, wherein the membership group is associated with the first node and a second node, and wherein the first node is associated with a first operating system and the second node is associated with a second operating system, and wherein the first operating system is independent of the second operating system;
dynamically adjusting to the change in the membership group; and
directly accessing a storage, wherein the storage is also directly accessible by the second node.
