Patent Images
1. A method of data processing in a cluster system, comprising:
- a second node receiving a message from a first node in a cluster environment, the message including a unique identifier of a shared data storage device including a cluster configuration database that defines membership of nodes in a cluster;
in response to receiving the message;
the second node attempting to find the shared data storage device;
in response to finding the shared data storage device, the second node locating and reading the cluster configuration database on the shared data storage device; and
the second node assimilating a cluster configuration update indicated by the cluster configuration database.

Abstract
A second node receives a message from a first node in a cluster environment. The message includes a unique identifier of a shared data storage device including a cluster configuration database that defines membership of nodes in a cluster. In response to receiving the message, the second node attempts to find the shared data storage device. In response to finding the shared data storage device, the second node locates and reads the cluster configuration database on the shared data storage device. The second node then assimilates a cluster configuration update indicated by the cluster configuration database.
