Abstract:
A site asymmetric topology reconciliation module (SATRM) provides a stable topology for nodes located at different sites of the cluster during loss and reconnection of communication links between the sites. The SATRM monitors the cluster topology for changes in communication links between nodes. When there is an unstable cluster topology due to a loss in the communication links, the SATRM severs links to one or more sites to create a stable topology. When a communication links recovers, the SATRM merges sites to create a stable topology with the sites connected with the recovered communication links.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 9  wherein the step of determining if there are sites in the cluster with an asymmetric view further comprises:\n sending heartbeat messages on the communication links that indicates an upbeat state and a downbeat state for links to nodes in sites of the computer cluster; \n computing total count of the upbeat states and downbeat states from the heartbeat messages and comparing to other nodes of other sites by adding a number of nodes with the upbeat state and a number of nodes with the downbeat state within each site; and \n determining a site in the computer cluster has an asymmetric view of other sites when a first site sees a smaller count of nodes with the upbeat state and the downbeat state than seen by a second site, where the upbeat state indicates a communication link that is fully operational and the downbeat state indicates a communication link that can exchange heartbeat packets but is not fully functional.
