Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Technology is provided for selecting a master node of a node group in a storage system. The technology can gather data regarding visibility of one or more storage devices of the storage system to one or more active nodes of the node group, determine a maximum visibility value for the node group and selecting an active node with associated visibility value equal to the maximum visibility value as the master node of the node group.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of selecting a master node of a node group in a storage system, comprising: gathering data regarding visibility of one or more storage devices of the storage system to one or more active nodes of the node group, wherein a storage device of the one or more storage devices is visible to a selected active node of the one or more active nodes when the storage device is accessible to the active node through at least one functioning data communications pa…
