Abstract: A method, computer program product and/or computer system assigns access to a quorum disk in a split-storage cluster environment when a communication link between storage systems fails. Access to the quorum disk is based on storage system I/O performance. Priority is given to the storage system that has a higher performance before the link failure. When the communication link fails, both storage systems attempt to access the quorum disk. If the system that first attempts to access the quorum disk is the non-priority storage system, a timer is started. If the priority system attempts to access the quorum disk within a predetermined time interval, the priority system locks the quorum disk and forms the cluster. If the priority system does not attempt to access the quorum disk within the predetermined time interval, the non-priority system locks the quorum disk and forms the cluster.

Abstract: A reworking system includes a reworking machine configured for reworking products belonging to a first type and a second type, a main conveyer belt configured to transport the products to be reworked, first and second branch conveyer belts connected to the main conveyer belt and configured to transport the first and second types of the products to be reworked, a primary scanner installed on the main conveyer belt and configured to scan bar codes of the products to be reworked, and a computer configured to receive and process scanned data from the primary scanner, and actuate the main conveyer belt, the first branch conveyer belt, and the second branch conveyer belt.
