    摘要: Various embodiments of a system and method for handling network partitions in a cluster of nodes are disclosed. The system and method may use a set of arbitration servers that are ordered in a particular order. Client nodes in different partitions may send requests to the arbitration servers to attempt to win control of them. The client node that wins a majority of the arbitration servers may remain in the cluster, and the client nodes in the other partitions may exit the cluster. The first arbitration server may award control to whichever client node whose request for control is received first. The remaining arbitration servers may be configured to give preference to the winner of one or more of the previous arbitration servers to attempt to ensure that one of the client nodes wins a majority.

    摘要: Techniques for monitoring a server are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system and method for monitoring a server. The method may comprise monitoring, using a monitoring module communicatively coupled to a network, data traffic at a server. The method may also comprise identifying a lack of data traffic during a predetermined period of time. The method may further comprise generating at least one notification based on the lack of data traffic. The method may also comprises transmitting the at least one notification to a server agent, wherein the server agent places at least one call to the server to verify status of the server.
