CA 2505155

A heartbeat system and method is provided for a cluster system. The cluster includes a plurality of nodes. The nodes access files on one or more data storage devices over a network. The system includes a quorum file that receives and stores heartbeat messages from the plurality of nodes indicating they are active. A network controller connects the quorum file to the plurality of nodes in accordance with IEEE 1394 communication protocol.

Cette invention concerne un système et un procédé de battement de coeur destinés à un système de grappe. Cette grappe comprend une pluralité de noeuds. Les noeuds accèdent à des fichiers sur un ou plusieurs dispositifs de stockage de données sur un réseau. Le système comprend un fichier de quorum qui reçoit et stocke les messages de battements de coeur de la pluralité de noeuds indiquant qu'ils sont actifs. Une unité de commande de réseau connecte le fichier de quorum à la pluralité de noeuds conformément au protocole de communication IEEE 1394.
