Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving a change to a configuration parameter associated with a first cluster node in a cluster configuration. The configuration parameter may be stored in a shared cluster memory. The configuration parameter may be distributed from the shared cluster memory to the cluster configuration.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a change to a configuration parameter associated with a first cluster node in a cluster configuration; storing the configuration parameter in a shared cluster memory; and distributing the configuration parameter from the shared cluster memory to the cluster configuration.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the configuration parameter includes at least one of a mode, a state, and a numerical parameter of at least one storage service running on the first cluster node.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the cluster configuration is shown as a single view for each storage service running on a plurality of cluster nodes in the cluster configuration.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the cluster configuration is organized as a tree structure.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the configuration update is applied to a plurality of cluster nodes in the cluster configuration.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the configuration update is limited to the first cluster.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the configuration update is limited to a single replication group.

8 . A computer program product residing on a computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed across one or more processors, cause at least a portion of the one or more processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a change to a configuration parameter associated with a first cluster node in a cluster configuration; storing the configuration parameter in a shared cluster memory; and distributing the configuration parameter from the shared cluster memory to the cluster configuration.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the configuration parameter includes at least one of a mode, a state, and a numerical parameter of at least one storage service running on the first cluster node.

10 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the cluster configuration is shown as a single view for each storage service running on a plurality of cluster nodes in the cluster configuration.

11 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the cluster configuration is organized as a tree structure.

12 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the configuration update is applied to a plurality of cluster nodes in the cluster configuration.

13 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the configuration update is limited to the first cluster.

14 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the configuration update is limited to a single replication group.

15 . A computing system including one or more processors and one or more memories configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a change to a configuration parameter associated with a first cluster node in a cluster configuration; storing the configuration parameter in a shared cluster memory; and distributing the configuration parameter from the shared cluster memory to the cluster configuration.

16 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein the configuration parameter includes at least one of a mode, a state, and a numerical parameter of at least one storage service running on the first cluster node.

17 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein the cluster configuration is shown as a single view for each storage service running on a plurality of cluster nodes in the cluster configuration.

18 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein the cluster configuration is organized as a tree structure.

19 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein the configuration update is applied to a plurality of cluster nodes in the cluster configuration.

20 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein the configuration update is limited to the first cluster.
