Abstract: A system and methods are disclosed for preventing computers in a network from concurrently processing a task, where the task can be successfully processed by only one computer in the network at a time. The system comprises a plurality of computers connected to the network and a locking device connected to the network, wherein the locking device uses a password change system to control which computer in the network is able to process the task.

Abstract: A system and a process is provided for requesting and obtaining information about Resources on a Cluster. The system utilizes a Multiplex Provider, that may be provided on every Node of the Cluster. The Multiplex Provider facilitates the communication of requests to various Nodes without requiring Providers, at such Nodes, to be Cluster-aware and without requiring a Client to directly communicate the request to every Node. The present invention also includes a scope, specifying a range for which any request may be applied. The scope may be determined utilizing a discovery process, wherein each Node on a Cluster identifies the Providers and Resources associated with the Node. The process also entails capturing the results of a request for information in a tabular format. The tabulation may be specified to include all results of the query, unique results of the query and/or based upon any other desired tabulation.

Abstract: A system and method for handling a query seeking information about computers of a network, where the query can be optimized in a way which limits the set of computers examined to a set smaller than all known computers. The query is examined to determine a limited list of computers to be accessed that would yield the complete result. If the query can be satisfied using data from a number of computers which is less than all of the computers in the network, then the number of computers which is less than all of the computers in the network is accessed to satisfy the query. In this manner, the data collection process for satisfying the query is generally more efficient than accessing all of the computers in the network.

Abstract translation: 一种用于处理寻求关于网络计算机的信息的查询的系统和方法，其中可以以将所检查的计算机集合限制为小于所有已知计算机的集合的方式来优化查询。 检查查询以确定要访问的计算机的有限列表，以产生完整的结果。 如果可以使用少于网络中所有计算机的计算机的数据来满足查询，则访问小于网络中所有计算机的计算机数量以满足查询。 以这种方式，用于满足查询的数据收集处理通常比访问网络中的所有计算机更有效。

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for providing High Availability applications on a Cluster without utilizing a fail-over mechanism. The process utilizes a first instantiation of a Package containing information needed to implement an application on a first Node of a Cluster. Additionally, the process utilizes a second instantiation of the Package on at least one second Node of the Cluster. Upon detection of a fault condition or possible fault condition in an application, a Cluster management system transfers operation of the application from the first Node to the second Node. The second Node utilizing the second instantiation of the Package to immediately implement the application without requiring the Cluster management system to fail-over the application.
