Patent ID: 7730091

Claim:
A method of generating in a computer processor, and deploying a data model of a plurality of database cluster configuration availability solutions over a computer network, the method comprising: creating, in the computer processor, a database cluster configuration modeling specification, wherein the database cluster configuration modeling specification includes logical symbolic representations providing a definition of a database cluster configuration data model, and wherein the computer processor includes a configuration graphical user interface; creating the database cluster configuration data model from the database cluster configuration modeling specification; wherein creating the database cluster configuration data model includes performing sub operations of: receiving, from one of the configuration graphical user interface and from a batch of data from an XML file and from an existing cluster, bijective/reversible data transmissions between object interfaces of the plurality of database cluster instances and the database cluster configuration data model definition the database cluster configuration data model; checking a series of constraints that specify a valid logical database cluster configuration data model for a plurality of database cluster instances of hardware systems nodes, network interfaces and networks of the database cluster configuration data model; and transforming the valid logical database cluster configuration data model to be output as cluster manager data; displaying an entire database cluster configuration modeling solution; and transmitting, over the network, the entire database cluster configuration modeling solution, wherein the useful, concrete and tangible result of a complete specification of an entire database cluster configuration modeling solution created, wherein the configuration is specified at a logical level independent of third party cluster manager applications, providing a logical snapshot of the cluster configuration data model, providing version-to-version migrations of DB2 instances between cluster manager applications with different specifications and providing a unified configuration interface that specifies a single configuration to multiple cluster managers through a single configuration model and corrects availability failure in cluster configurations.
