Compatibility enforcement in clustered computing systems
First Claim
1. A method of creating a clustered computing system, comprising:
- storing license information for a computing cluster in a memory module associated with a computing node, wherein the licensing information includes a bundle-type parameter that identifies characteristics of the cluster and one or more node license parameters that identifies a characteristic of a computing node;
initializing the computing cluster in a first computing node;
adding one or more available computing nodes to the computing cluster; and
activating the computing cluster when the computing cluster includes a number of nodes that complies with the bundle-type parameter.

Abstract
In one embodiment a method of creating a clustered computing system, comprises storing license information for a computing cluster in a memory module associated with a computing node, wherein the licensing information includes a bundle-type parameter that identifies a characteristic of the cluster and one or more node license parameters that identifies a characteristic of a computing node, initializing the computing cluster in a first computing node, adding one or more available computing nodes to the computing cluster; and activating the computing cluster when the computing cluster includes a number of nodes that complies with the bundle-type parameter.

14. A computer program product comprising logic instructions stored on a computer-readable medium which, when executed by a computer processor, configure the processor to:
-
store license information for a computing cluster in a memory module associated with a computing node, wherein the licensing information includes a bundle-type parameter that identifies a characteristic of the cluster and one or more node license parameters that identifies a characteristic of a computing node;
initialize the computing cluster in a first computing node;
add one or more available computing nodes to the computing cluster; and
activate the computing cluster when the computing cluster includes a number of nodes that complies with the bundle-type parameter. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
