    Abstract: A computer cluster includes a group of connected computers that work together essentially as a single system. Each computer in the cluster is called a node. Each node has a boot device configured to load an image of an operating system into the node's main memory. Sometimes the boot device of a first node experiences a problem that prevents the operating system from loading. This can affect the entire cluster. Some aspects of the disclosure, however, are directed to operations that determine the problem with the first node's boot device based on a communication sent via a first communications network. Further, the operations can communicate to the first node a copy of boot data from a second node's boot device. The copy of the boot data is sent via a second communications network different from the first communications network. The copy of the boot data can solve the first boot device's problem.

    Abstract: A clustered network-based storage system includes a host server, multiple high availability system controller pairs, and multiple storage devices across multiple arrays. Two independent storage array subsystems each include a quorum drive copy and are each controlled by a HA pair, with remote volume mirroring links coupling the separate HA pairs. The host server includes a virtualization agent that identifies and prioritizes communication paths, and also determines capacity across all system nodes. A system storage management agent determines an overall storage profile across the system. The virtualization agent, storage management agent, quorum drive copies and remote volume mirroring link all operate to provide increased redundancy, load sharing, or both between the separate first and second arrays of storage devices.

    Abstract: A system and method for storage of a core dump on a remotely connected storage device in a cluster environment is provided. In response to the need to perform a core dump operation, determination is made whether a local storage disk is available. If no local spare disk is available, other nodes in the cluster are queried via a cluster fabric protocol to identify a spare disk connected to another node of the cluster. The core dump is then performed via a cluster fabric switching network from a failed node to a node hosting a free spare disk.

    Abstract: This technology identifies one or more nodes with a failure, designates the identified one or more nodes as ineligible to service any I/O operation, and disables I/O ports of the identified one or more nodes. Another one or more nodes are selected to service any I/O operation of the identified one or more nodes based on a stored failover policy. Any of the I/O operations are directed to the selected another one or more nodes for servicing and then routing of any of the serviced I/O operations via a switch to the identified one or more nodes to execute any of the routed I/O operations with a storage device. An identification is made when the identified one or more nodes is repaired. The designation as ineligible is removed and one or more I/O ports of the identified one or more nodes are enabled when the repair is identified.
