    摘要: An embodiment of the invention provides a method of managing a cluster of networked resources and resource groups using rule-based constraints. This method includes the step of building a globally optimal cluster configuration of the resources in accordance with the rule-based constraints and a current state of the resources, including identifying for each of the resources and resource groups an availability and quality of service, which are determined by dependencies among the resources and resource groups, resource equivalency, constraints on the resources and network policies. The method comprises the further steps of bringing the cluster of resources on-line in a systematic manner, given the current state of each of the resources and resource groups; and with the cluster of networked resources on-line, determining dynamic dependencies of and configuration infomration about the cluster of resources (i) statically at defined times and (ii) dynamically during cluster operation.

    摘要: A topology propagation facility is provided for maintaining a common network topology database at different nodes in a distributed computing environment. The facility generates no message traffic when the distributed computing environment is in steady state. This is accomplished by discontinuing sending of group connectivity messages during a time period of no topology change within the distributed environment. Sending of group connectivity messages is reinitiated from at least one group leader upon identification by the group leader of at least one topology change within the distributed computing environment. Group connectivity messages are forwarded from one group of nodes on a first network to another group of nodes on a second network using a node common to both groups of nodes. The networks of the distributed computing environment can comprise heterogenous networks such that the topology propagation facility presented facilitates interoperability of the networks.
